Fagaras Mountains Romania

The Făgăraș Mountains are the defining peaks of the Southern Carpathians (also called the Transylvanian Alps). They boast the highest summits in Romania, all sitting along the same imposing spine. The colossal ridge line is visible from hundreds of kilometers across the low-lying plain of Transylvania to the north.
The mountains stand out for their impressive steepness, jagged (and sometimes chossy) character, alpine ecosystems, and remoteness. Large portions of the range are far from populated areas in mountain wilderness.
The highest peak in the range is Moldoveanu (2,545 m / 8,350 ft), the highest in Romania.

The Făgăraș Mountains are Romania's longest and highest mountain range. The chain of peaks runs east-west for about 70 km (44 mi).

The north slope of the Făgăraș is very steep, rising about 2,000 meters (6,561 ft) in just 14 km (8.7 mi). The south face is more gradual, covered in long, winding canyons and foothills.

The Făgăraș demarcate the boundary between Transylvania (to the north) and Wallachia (to the south). Most visitors approach from the north slope using the famous Transfăgărașan Highway, a Soviet-era road considered one of the world's most beautiful drives. The highway provides excellent access to the center of the range, around Bâlea Lake, cutting straight through the mountains to the south side. It’s a marvel of engineering and a convenient way to cut days off your approach time.
