Călimani National Park, National park in Mureș County, Romania.

The park covers 24,041 hectares across four Romanian counties, featuring volcanic formations, dense forests, alpine meadows, and mountain peaks reaching 2,103 meters.

Established in 1990, this protected area contains ancient volcanic structures that form the largest volcanic complex within the Romanian Carpathian mountain range.

The geological formation known as 12 Apostles served as a ritual location for Dacian ceremonies at an elevation of 1,770 meters.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, observe wildlife including bears and lynx, or participate in activities such as mountain biking and cross-country skiing.

The park contains unusual volcanic karst formations, including the Red Stones and Nefertiti geological reserves, shaped by natural erosion processes.
