Stig

Stig is a mountain in the Carpathians reaching about 1,500 meters in elevation, featuring steep rocky slopes that descend through forested zones. The terrain transitions from dense woodland at lower elevations to sparse vegetation and exposed rock near the summit area.

The mountain has served as a natural landmark for local communities across generations, marking the landscape of the Eastern Carpathian region. Its position in the mountain system made it a reliable reference point for navigation and settlement patterns.

Local mountain communities maintain traditional practices of seasonal grazing and gathering of natural resources from the slopes of Gora Stig.

The best time to climb is from May through September when conditions remain stable and temperatures are moderate. Trails are well-trodden but lack clear markers, so having a map or GPS guidance is important for safe navigation.

The summit presents a complete panoramic view of surrounding peaks, allowing observers to see the geographical transition between different mountain ranges.
