Pietrele Doamnei, Nature reserve in Suceava County, Romania.
The Pietrele Doamnei reserve extends across 253 hectares of mountainous terrain, featuring limestone rock formations that rise 70 meters above ground level.
The first geological research of the area was conducted by Austrian researcher C. M. Paul in 1876, initiating scientific exploration of these rock formations.
The German name Frauenstein reflects the multicultural heritage of this Carpathian region, where Romanian and Austrian influences intersect in natural landmarks.
The reserve can be reached by following a one-kilometer marked trail with red dots from Rarau Cabin, offering free access to visitors.
The protected area contains 326 species of flowers and plants, including the rare Edelweiss flower, which grows naturally on the limestone surfaces.
