Munții Ciucaș

The Ciucas Mountains are part of the Curvature Carpathians and are famous for their spectacular landscapes, dominated by rock formations of strange shapes modelled by erosion, such as the celebrated Tigaile Mari and Babele la Sfat. Set where historic regions meet, near the villages of the Covasna area and the Teleajen Valley, the mountains are appreciated by hikers for their accessible trails and wide views over the surrounding ridges. The rich vegetation includes extensive dwarf-pine thickets and alpine meadows dotted with mountain flowers, and in certain areas stands of Carpathian rhododendron flower in summer.

The network of marked paths links the main points of interest, and the chalet in the massif offers a base for hikers. As mountains of moderate altitude, Ciucas suits beginners too, but the weather can change quickly, so suitable gear and caution are needed. The area is an excellent destination for day hikes and for lovers of nature.
