💡 Tips

- Bring all necessary supplies like bottled water and snacks with you before arriving.
- Expect unpaved roads in certain parts of the village; drive slowly and carefully.
- The locals are usually curious but friendly towards outsiders passing through.
- A great spot for cycling if you enjoy exploring remote, untouristed country roads.
🍽 Food
Ask friendly locals if they have homemade fruit preserves for sale in autumn.
In the right season, you can often pick or buy fresh fruits from the village orchards.
For anything else, look for the small neighborhood shop to grab a quick local biscuit.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Stock up on absolute basics here, as options are very limited.
The best 'shopping' here is buying fresh eggs or seasonal produce directly from villagers.
Walk along the unpaved paths connecting the houses for extreme peace and quiet.
Venture towards the nearby wooded areas to listen to the birds and enjoy the natural shade.

Tomșani is a commune located in Prahova County, in the south-central part of the county, renowned for its centuries-old tradition in viticulture and agriculture. The settlement is situated on the outskirts of the famous Dealu Mare wine region, where the rich local soils are good for cultivating various grape varieties. The commune consists of the villages of Loloiasca, Magula, and Tomșani, and is crossed by the DN1B national road which provides the road link between the cities of Ploiești and Buzău. Historical documents attest to the presence of these communities since the 16th century, the locations being strategic points on the medieval trade routes of Muntenia. The high plain relief provides optimal conditions not only for viticulture but also for large-scale cereal crops. Currently, the locality focuses on infrastructure modernization and attracting investors to the agri-food processing sector, while maintaining an authentic rural lifestyle.
