Legend[edit]

Once a great merchant from Tighina stood here. Other merchants and travelers stopped and expressed their wish that “if there were any place to eat and drink, the passers-by would rest and dine. After hearing the travelers’ wish, the merchant from Tighina ordered for such a place to be built. The hikers stopped, rested and ate nearby the village. Local cooks would prepare the most delicious sausages of various kinds. The news about the local sausages has quickly spread through the land. From those tasty sausages came the name of the village – Cîrnăţeni.^[4]
