Bucegi Mountains
The Bucegi Mountains, with an area of around 300 sqkm, are located at the eastern border of the Southern Carpathians, between Prahova Valley to the east and Ialomita Valley to the west, in the southern side of Brasov city.
At a higher elevation is the Bucegi Plateau, where wind and rain have turned the rocks into spectacular figures such as the Sphinx and Babele.
The Bucegi is believed to be the Dacian holy mountain Kogainon, on which the mythical figure Zamolxis resided in a cave.
