Pietrosul Rodnei, Mountain summit in Maramures County, Romania.
The peak rises 2303 meters above sea level, featuring three glacial cirques on its northern slopes that drop 1650 meters to the valley below.
In August 1796, Pál Kitaibel, Ádám Waldstein, and János Schütz completed the first documented ascent of Pietrosul Rodnei with assistance from local guides.
The mountain's Romanian name translates to 'rocky,' while Hungarian speakers refer to it as Nagy-Pietrosz, reflecting the geological characteristics of its summit.
Hikers can access the summit through two marked trails from Borsa, requiring approximately eight hours for a round trip covering 17.5 kilometers.
The mountain's northern face contains three separate glacial formations, setting it apart from the grass-covered peaks common in the Rodnei Mountains range.
