Home > Bucegi
The Bucegi mountains are located in central Romania, south of the city Brasov. They are part of the Carpathian Mountains. To the east, the Bucegi mountains have a very steep slope towards the popular tourist destination Prahova Valley (a.o. Busteni and Sinaia). 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 Thracian holy mountain Kogainon, on which the mythical figure Zalmoxis resided in a cave.
