Ceahlăului

-fragment-

The Ceahlău Massif is one of the most notorious

mountains of Romania. It is part of the Bistriţa

Mountains range of the Eastern Carpathians

division, in Neamţ County, in the Moldavia region. The

two most important peaks are Toaca (1904 m altitude)

and Ocolaşul Mare (1907 m altitude). It is bounded to

the east by the Bistriţa River and Lake Bicaz, to the

south by the Bicaz River. From the south, the main

access point is the village of Izvorul Muntelui, located

12 km north from the town of Bicaz. To the

north, Mount Ceahlău is also accessible from Durău.

There are many legends about the Ceahlău Massif

and speculations regarding its possible reverence for

the ancient Dacians; as a consequence it is often

called "The Romanian Olympus.“
