Vârful Toaca, Mountain summit in Ceahlău Massif, Romania

Vârful Toaca is a pyramid-shaped summit of 1904 m in the Ceahlău Massif, the second highest after Ocolașul Mare. A meteorological station of the same name stands on top, reached by climbing a staircase. Though not the highest point of the massif, its shape makes it the massif's main attraction.

The sources document no founding date for a trail to Vârful Toaca; the 1835 claim is unsupported. What is recorded is the peak's 1904 m altitude, second in the Ceahlău Massif after Ocolașul Mare, and the meteorological station bearing the peak's name, reached by climbing a staircase. The summit's pyramidal form, not its height, made it the massif's main attraction.

The name Toaca comes from the Romanian word for the wooden board struck in monasteries to call monks to prayer, a shape echoed by the peak's pyramidal silhouette. The meteorological station on top is reached by a staircase and is staffed year-round.

Two main trails lead to the summit, one from Durău resort and another from Dochia cabin, taking around three hours to climb. The terrain is steady but requires proper footwear and water supplies.

The summit is reached by climbing a staircase up to the weather station of the same name, which stands on the peak. The station is the only structure at the top, and the stairs are the final part of the ascent.
