Bucegi Natural Park, Protected natural park in Carpathian Mountains, Romania.
The Bucegi Natural Park extends across 32,663 hectares through three counties, featuring limestone cliffs, gorges, caves, and alpine meadows at elevations from 800 to 2505 meters.
The Romanian government established Bucegi Natural Park in 1974, officially declaring it as a protected area in 2000 to prevent excessive resource exploitation and preserve biodiversity.
Traditional shepherding practices continue within designated areas of the park, maintaining centuries-old Romanian mountain culture through sustainable grazing methods.
Visitors can access the park through multiple entry points near Sinaia, Busteni, and Moroeni, with marked hiking trails ranging from 500 meters to 16 kilometers.
Natural erosion created distinctive rock formations including the Sphinx and Babele structures, which stand at over 2,000 meters altitude in the central area.

Romania encompasses historic towns where medieval squares, Orthodox churches, and royal palaces are found. Bucharest, the capital, hosts the Parliament Palace and religious buildings like the 18th-century Stavropoleos Church. In Transylvania, Brașov preserves its 14th-century city walls, and Sibiu features its cobbled streets lined with old houses. Further north, Bukovina contains Orthodox monasteries adorned with Renaissance exterior frescoes. The Romanian territory also offers mountain landscapes and diverse natural sites. The Transfăgărășan road crosses the Carpathians at over 2000 meters altitude, linking two historic regions. Bran Castle and Peles Castle, perched in the mountains, showcase defensive and royal architecture. The saline lakes of Ocna Sibiului and thermal centers like Therme București highlight the country's natural resources. The Danube Delta completes this collection of destinations to explore.
