Rarău Mountains, Mountain range in Suceava County, Romania.

The Rarău Mountains form a subgroup of the Eastern Carpathians, with peaks reaching 1,650 meters and limestone cliffs visible throughout. The landscape includes forest-covered slopes, open pastures, and rocky ridges that dominate the view from surrounding lowlands.

The massif was already called Rarău in 1541; before that it was known as Dodu. A legend attributes the name to Petru Rareș, voivode of Moldavia. The Rarău hermitage was moved from the mountain's northern slope to its southern slope at the end of the 18th century, when Austria occupied Bukovina.

The massif's name was already recorded in 1541, when the range was still called Dodu; a legend credits Moldavian prince Petru Rareș with the later name. The Rarău hermitage was moved from the mountain's northern slope to its southern slope at the end of the 18th century, when Austria occupied Bukovina.

Access is possible via marked trails from Câmpulung Moldovenesc, and the TransRarău road allows vehicles to reach about 1,520 meters elevation. The best time to visit is late spring through early autumn when trails are dry and conditions are most favorable.

Pietrele Doamnei is a ruiniform relief of Mesozoic limestone towers encrusted with corals and ammonites, ranging from under 10 m to over 70 m high and surrounded by scree of varying sizes. It formed when freeze-thaw fragmentation broke up a limestone summit, and the towers now host numerous climbing routes.
