Subiect: The shepherding is an occupation which determined numerous flocks of sheep to move long distances, and with time has generated a pastoral landscape, a specific type of civilisation, which coveres an area extending from the summer grazing places, situated in the Carpathian Mountains, to the wintering places.
One of the regions of great theoretical and practical interest in the study of the moving of flocks was and still is Voineşti, situated in Covasna county. Transhumant shepherding is carried out exclusively outside „vatra satului” (heart of the village). This is due to the lack of land, causing the fact that the harvested hay is insufficient for sheep wintering. The temporary swarming of shepherds has had an important role in spreading the language, the customs and the traditions of the ancestors in preserving their, life concepts etc., determining the formation of a unitary concept regarding the historical purpose of Romanians among the peoples of the world.
