Tâmpa, Brașov, Mountain summit in Brașov, Romania.
Tâmpa Mountain rises to 960 meters above sea level, featuring limestone cliffs and natural pathways that overlook the city of Brașov and Carpathian Mountains.
The mountain functioned as a strategic observation point throughout centuries, allowing defenders to monitor approaching threats to the medieval city of Brașov.
The name Tâmpa originates from Hungarian language influences in the region, reflecting the multicultural character of Transylvania through different historical periods.
Visitors can reach the summit through multiple marked hiking trails or take the cable car system that connects the base station to the mountain peak.
The mountain displays a large illuminated sign similar to the Hollywood letters, visible from the central square of Brașov during both day and night.
