Pietrosul Mare, Biosphere reserve in Eastern Carpathians, Romania.
The Pietrosul Mare reserve extends over 3,300 hectares of alpine terrain, subalpine zones, and dense coniferous forests at elevations reaching 2,303 meters.
In 1979, UNESCO incorporated Pietrosul Mare into its international network of biosphere reserves through the Man and Biosphere Programme.
The protected area maintains populations of regional wildlife and preserves natural landscapes characteristic of the Eastern Carpathian mountain range.
Access to the reserve begins from Borsa town, with marked trails leading through different ecological zones including spruce forests and mountain pine areas.
The northern face of Pietrosul Mare contains three glacial cirques formed during the Ice Age, with elevation differences of 1,650 meters to the Viseu valley.
