The mountain

A massif in the Carpații de Curbură, famed for its towers and conglomerate “pans” sculpted by wind and rain, set in a landscape all its own.

Trails

Ridge paths with sweeping views; access from Cheia or from the Brașov side (Vama Buzăului, Săcele).

Good to know

From late spring to autumn is the ideal season; the dwarf pine stands are protected.
