They are unhappy over the presence of two foreign companies, who are looking for natural resources.
Protesters waved signs and Romanian flags and brought livestock to help block the places where the companies are searching.
Chevron, from the US, is searching for shale gas, while Canadian Gabriel Resources are looking for gold.
Romania's government approved both companies searches in order to boost the poor economy.
However, the people are upset about the companies being foreign as well as fears over the environmental impact of the mining and drilling.
