National Park Ceahlău, National park in Neamț County, Romania.
Description
National Park Ceahlău sits in mountainous terrain with the Ceahlău Massif and two main peaks rising at different heights. The landscape combines limestone formations with alpine meadows and varying ecosystems across its slopes.
History
The area was placed under protection in 1954 as one of the first protected reserves in the mountain region. This decision laid groundwork for conservation efforts across the broader eastern mountain area.
Culture
The area lives in local stories and hiker tales, where rock formations carry names tied to shepherd figures and ancient deities. These names still shape how people perceive and talk about the mountain today.
Practical
Several marked trails run through the park with different difficulty levels for various fitness levels. Overnight options exist at multiple locations, including shelters and designated camping areas.
Did you know?
Rare alpine flowers thrive here in their natural form and have been protected for decades. These plants are bound closely to the limestone cliffs and shape the character of the higher reaches.
