Attractions

Tâmna is well known for the wooden church, certified now as a historical monument, located a few minutes away from the local Church. Surrounded by the Foaienfir forest, the beauty of the place is enriched by the farmer's market held every Friday morning, between 8 and 11 am. Last week of October, there is the annual local festival, where the locals gather and enjoy dances, music, carnivals and local foods. In addition to it, the Șerban Farm, located 200 m towards Bâcleș from the market can be visited. It holds hundreds of bovines (breeds like Angus and Belgian Blue), goats, sheep and pigs.^{[citation needed]}
