Rasinari is a village located near Sibiu, Romania. The name Rasinari is derived from the Romanian word for resin, as villagers historically sold resin collected from nearby forests. The village has a moderate continental climate and is surrounded by mountains composed of mica schists and paragneiss. It contains several tourist attractions including churches, an ethnographic museum, and the homes of historical figures. Rasinari has great potential for agrotourism due to its cultural and natural attractions, but lacks effective promotion to increase tourism.
