Cascada Urlătoarea

The Urlatoarea Waterfall is one of the best-known and most accessible waterfalls in the Bucegi massif, located not far from the resorts of Busteni and Sinaia, at the foot of the mountain. Its name, linked to the loud roar of the water tumbling over the rock ledges, describes perfectly the spectacle offered by the thread of water descending in steps down the slope, among rocks and mountain vegetation. The waterfall is fed by high-altitude springs and snowmelt, being most impressive in spring and early summer when its flow is at a maximum.

The access path, marked and relatively easy, climbs gently through forest and meadows, offering fine views over the Prahova Valley and the surrounding ridges. It is a popular destination for short walks in nature. Practical note: the hike is suitable for families too but requires comfortable footwear; the sections near the waterfall can be wet and slippery, so watch your step.
