Mănăstirea Predeal (Schitul Predeal)

Predeal Monastery, also known as the Predeal Skete, is an Orthodox monastic settlement located in the mountain resort of Predeal, the highest-altitude town in Romania, in the pass between the Bucegi Mountains and the Baiu Mountains. Usually dedicated to St Paraskeva or other saints, the skete offers a place of prayer and reflection in an exceptional mountain setting, surrounded by coniferous forests and the ridges of the Carpathians. Its architecture belongs to the tradition of mountain places of worship, with wood and characteristic painting, blending austerity with the beauty of the landscape.

Predeal, loved both in summer for its hikes and in winter for its ski slopes, gains through this settlement a spiritual dimension that complements its tourist offer. Visitors who stop here find quiet and a moment of contemplation away from the bustle of the resort. A short distance from the town centre and the Predeal railway station, the monastery is easily accessible and makes a natural stop for those discovering the Prahova Valley.
