Vârful Roșu, Munții Iezer-Păpușa

Located in the Southern Carpathians, Vârful Roșu reaches an elevation of 2,469 meters and features steep slopes with alpine vegetation patterns.

The summit has served as a geographical landmark since the first systematic mapping of the Southern Carpathians during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period.

Local shepherds maintain traditional practices in the surrounding grasslands, contributing to the preservation of Romanian mountain pastoralism.

The ascent to Vârful Roșu requires proper mountaineering equipment and takes approximately 6 hours from Voina Cabin through marked trails.

Two glacial lakes, known as Boarcăs Lakes, rest beneath the summit and reflect the geological processes that shaped these mountains.
