Șesul Craiului - Scărița-Belioara, Nature reserve in Apuseni Mountains, Romania.
The Scărița-Belioara reserve extends across mountainous terrain with limestone plateaus, steep cliffs, and valleys reaching 1,382 meters at Scărița Peak.
The area gained protected status to preserve glacial plant species, including Gentiana acaulis and Dryas octopetala, which survived from the last ice age.
Local communities participate in educational programs to inform visitors about conservation methods and the importance of maintaining natural landscapes.
The main hiking trail spans 9 kilometers to reach Șesul Craiului plateau at 1,350 meters, requiring approximately 4-5 hours for completion.
Golden eagles nest on the limestone cliffs of the reserve, making it one of Romania's prime locations for observing these large raptors.
