Carpathian Mountains, Mountain range in Central and Eastern Europe, Romania and Ukraine.
The Carpathian Mountains extend for 1,500 kilometers through multiple European countries, reaching elevations of up to 2,655 meters at their highest peaks.
Ancient Dacian tribes inhabited these mountains during the second century AD, when Greek geographer Ptolemy documented them as Montes Sarmatici.
Romanian and Ukrainian communities maintain traditional practices in the mountains, including sheep herding and the production of wooden crafts.
Multiple hiking trails cross the range between April and October, with designated camping areas and mountain huts providing accommodation for travelers.
The mountains contain Europe's largest unfragmented forest area, supporting substantial populations of brown bears, wolves, and European lynx.
