Ciucaș Peak, Mountain summit in Carpathians, Romania
The Ciucaș Peak reaches an elevation of 1,954 meters and features distinctive limestone formations with conglomerate rocks shaped like natural chimneys.
The geological development of Ciucaș Peak occurred through extensive tectonic movements during the formation of the Carpathian Mountains in the Mesozoic period.
Local residents have named numerous rock formations across the mountain, including Babele la Sfat and Turnul lui Goliat, reflecting Romanian folklore traditions.
Visitors can access the peak through multiple marked trails starting from Cheia village, with the main route taking approximately three and a half hours to reach.
The mountain contains specific geological structures known as the Frying Pans, created by natural erosion processes in the limestone over millions of years.
