Făgăraș Mountains, Mountain range in central Romania.
The Fagaras Mountains extend 70 kilometers through Romania's Southern Carpathians, featuring Moldoveanu Peak at 2,544 meters and multiple glacial lakes at high elevations.
The mountains served as natural barriers during medieval times, influencing the construction of defensive structures and the movements of armies between Transylvania and Wallachia.
Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices in the mountain meadows, continuing centuries-old customs of seasonal livestock movement through the ranges.
The Transfagarasan Highway provides vehicle access to Balea Lake between June and September, while hiking trails connect multiple mountain huts throughout the range.
The northern face rises abruptly from the Fagaras Depression, creating an elevation difference of over 2,000 meters within a horizontal distance of 4 kilometers.
