Discover Klein-Betschkerek

When looking for a hotel in Klein-Betschkerek, first consider what interests will shape your stay. Nature, local church history, a museum and fishing are different reasons to choose this destination. The range extends from protected habitats to memories of the priest and scholar Dimitrie Țichindeal.

Nature and protected habitats

The Natura 2000 site ROSCI0277 Becicherecu Mic encompasses Pannonian and Ponto-Sarmatian saline meadows and marshes. Pannonian and Ponto-Sarmatian are the names of the habitat types; saline meadows and marshes refer to the specific habitats. The area's connection to nature is therefore clearly focused on particular habitat types. If you choose destinations based on nature, this combination offers a specific point of interest.

Church and Dimitrie Țichindeal

The Romanian Orthodox church in Becicherecu Mic was completed and consecrated in 1909. After 2010, it was fully renovated and furnished with a carved iconostasis, carved furniture and frescoes. This distinguishes the building's history from its later additions: 1909 marks its completion and consecration, while the renovation after 2010 represents a later phase.

A bronze bust of Dimitrie Țichindeal stands in the churchyard in Becicherecu Mic. He served as a priest in the local parish first from 1805 to 1812 and then again from 1815 to 1818. The two terms of office are clearly distinct; the gap helps place his work in time. The bust and the periods of service offer different connections to the same person: his commemoration in the churchyard and his earlier work in the parish.

Museum: literature, history and everyday culture

The Dimitrie Țichindeal Museum opened in August 1987; at the time, it was housed in the Serbian school building in Becicherecu Mic. It displays reproductions of documents and illustrations relating to the period in which Țichindeal lived, as well as photocopies of works by Gheorghe Șincai, I. Budai-Deleanu and Samuil Micu Klein. Pages from “Fabule” are also featured. These are joined by photocopies of official documents from 1815 that banned Țichindeal's work “Fabule și moralnice învățături.”

The ethnographic room displays traditional costumes from all regions of the country, textiles, and household and everyday objects used by local residents over the years. Two perspectives sit side by side: traditional costumes from across the country and objects from the everyday lives of local residents. If you plan to visit the museum, check the current visiting arrangements in advance.

Fishing, mill and celebrations

The Pescăria Pescărețul Mic fishing facility in Becicherecu Mic has specially prepared fishing spots. For travelers interested in fishing, it offers a distinct focus alongside the cultural and historical attractions.

The old mill in Becicherecu Mic is a traditional grain mill equipped with a BUHLER machine built in 1937. The year of manufacture gives the machinery a specific historical context. At a celebration in honor of Saint Sava, poems were recited in his honor and the hymn dedicated specifically to the patron saint of Serbian schools was sung. The recitation and the hymn are two different forms of commemoration within the same celebration.
