Authentic folklore and cuisine are the main characteristics of the nation and the people, as important as the language, the territory, the family memory, the religion. There are many historical bridges between the different generations in the village of Varnentsi. But of particular importance are those related to inherited traditions and culture, combining in one the spirit of past years and the ability today to absorb the wisdom bequeathed to us by our ancestors. And today it is one of the starting points for future sustainable development. The village of Varnentsi is part of the Dobrudzha region, and has a rich cultural tangible and intangible heritage. The local community center and the population as the bearers of the intangible cultural heritage should practice the activities and pass on knowledge and skills to the next generations.
