Vânătoarea lui Buteanu, Mountain summit in Făgăraș Mountains, Romania.
Vânătoarea lui Buteanu rises to 2,507 meters within the Southern Carpathians, presenting steep rocky slopes and narrow ridges along its climbing routes.
The peak's name originates from ancient Romanian terminology referring to the distant purple hues of its rocky summits in the Făgăraș mountain range.
The mountain holds dual linguistic recognition, known as Vânătoarea lui Buteanu in Romanian and Buteanu-csúcs in Hungarian, reflecting the region's heritage.
Climbers access the summit through marked trails from Balea Lake, following a path that requires approximately two hours of hiking through Saua Caprei.
The summit provides direct views of Romania's highest peaks, including Moldoveanu and Negoiu, while connecting multiple routes across the Făgăraș ridge system.
