Piatra Teiului, Nature reserve near Poiana Largului, Romania.

The limestone rock formation rises 23 meters above the Bistrita River, standing on a terrace at an altitude of 508 meters.

The geological reserve, covering 0.2 hectares, received official protection status in 1951 as a natural monument of Romania.

The formation appears in Mihail Sadoveanu's novel 'The Hatchet', where character Vitoria Lipan observes the snow-covered rock from her window.

Visitors can reach Piatra Teiului through DN15 viaduct, which connects Moldova to Transylvania and provides access to multiple tourist destinations.

Initially named Devil's Rock, the formation received its current name after a linden tree grew on its peak.
