Munții Rarău - Pietrele Doamnei

The Rarau Mountains, with their famous Lady's Stones, form one of the most beautiful landscapes of Bukovina, a massif in the Eastern Carpathians group renowned for its spectacular limestone rocks rising above the coniferous forests. The Lady's Stones are a group of limestone columns and ridges with dramatic shapes, a geological reserve offering superb views and routes valued by hikers and climbers. Legend links the name of these rocks to a lady who is said to have taken refuge here in times of hardship, adding a layer of story to the already impressive landscape.

From the ridges open wide panoramas over the mountains of Bukovina, and nearby stands the Rarau Chalet, a convenient starting point. The area is rich in mountain flora and offers an ideal setting for nature. Practical note: access is by car to near the ridge and then along paths; for rock climbing, experience and proper gear are needed.
