Carpathian Mountains

Carpathian Mountains - Romania

The Carpathian Mountains, making their way through Romania heartland, remain one of the last undisturbed places in all Europe.

The incredible alpine views and also the superb beauty of a land where time seem to stop - shepherds tend their sheep, horse carts are running slowly and medieval settlements retain their traditions and customs - make romanian Carpathian a spectacular open-air museum. The mountains and its forest are home of the highest population of brown bears, lynx and wolves in Europe.

Fagaras Mountains, Romania’s highest peaks (Moldoveanu Peak 2544 m), offer spectacular views and hikes on a glacier carved landscape. The Trasfagarasan road, the most spectacular in Romania, is crossing the mountains connecting Transylvania and Wallachia.

The Bucegi Mountains provide some of the best hiking in Romania. Their ridge top offers panoramic views, meadows with wildflowers and lots of trails and tourist attractions. Nearby, Prahova Valley (Valea Prahovei in Romania) it’s a great tourist attraction with well-known resorts such as Sinaia, Busteni, Predeal and Poiana Brasov.

The Peles Castle in Sinaia is one of the best-preserved royal palaces in Europe, the summer residence of the first Hohenzollern king of Romania, Carol I.
