Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Dimieni can be understood through precise archaeological references: village outskirts, roads, the railway and landforms help locate the settlements mentioned. The parish church and a cycling route that includes Dimieni also feature. Anyone planning a stay with a historical focus will find specific directions and distances that pinpoint the village on the map.

Archaeological Sites

The archaeological site of Dimieni lies northwest of the village, at the far northwestern edge of the commune, near the border with the UAT of Otopeni. It is 1.50 km west of the Tunari–Balotești road and 150 m south of the railway line. Several reference points help locate it: its position relative to the village, the road, the railway line and the named commune boundary. These specific directions and measurements pinpoint its location in the northwest.

A La Tène settlement of Dimieni lies at the far northwestern edge of Tunari commune, 1.50 km west of the Tunari–Balotești road and 1.2 km south of the railway line. The road and railway provide two clearly identified reference lines for locating it. Its historical classification is thus tied to a specific geographical location, rather than being described solely by compass direction.

The Geto-Dacian settlement of Dimieni lies south of the village, 50 m west of the DJ road from Tunari to Dimieni. It is located on a ridge cut through by a drainage ditch for CA2. At the eastern edge of the village, in the direction of Dascălu commune, lies the Bronze Age settlement, 2,000 m east of the Tunari–Balotești road. The Geto-Dacian, Bronze Age and La Tène classifications are thus associated with different locations and topographical features. The road references also differ: the DJ road from Tunari to Dimieni is named for the southern settlement, while the Tunari–Balotești road serves as a reference point for the other locations.

Parish Church and Local History

The parish church of Dimieni is dedicated to Saint Dimitrie Basarabov. A local report from 2019 describes how Dimieni’s church was extensively beautified over a long period. A local cultural report from 2019 also mentions a sacred garment in a place of honor in the church in the village of Dimieni.

Dimieni on a Cycling Route

A page published in 2021 lists the SSP cycling route from Bucharest via Dimieni, Căciulata, Moara Vlăsiei, Lipia, Merii Petchii, Moara Vlăsiei, Dascălu and Tunari, returning to Bucharest. In this sequence, Dimieni is part of a longer loop that passes through several named places. The list makes the route through each place name easy to follow without presenting Dimieni as the route’s sole destination.
