Ocolașul Mare, Mountain summit in Ceahlău Mountains, Romania.

Ocolașul Mare reaches 1907 meters in elevation and features steep cliffs on three sides within the Ceahlău National Park of Eastern Romania.

The summit became part of Ceahlău National Park in 1955, establishing a protected area for its geological formations and diverse mountain ecosystems.

Local Romanian mythology connects the mountain's rock formations to ancient tales of Dochia, a princess who turned to stone while fleeing from a pursuing emperor.

The marked hiking trails to Ocolașul Mare start from Dochia Chalet, requiring entrance fees to the national park and proper mountain equipment.

The summit contains rare geological structures of conglomerate and limestone, forming natural towers that stand out against the Eastern Carpathian landscape.

Elevation above the sea: 1,907 m

GPS coordinates: 46.95424,25.94584
