Ceahlău

Ceahlău National Park protects the Ceahlău massif, a prominent isolated mountain block rising from the Moldavian plateau in Neamț County, northeastern Romania. The park covers 8,396 hectares and was established in 1990. Ceahlău reaches 1,907 meters at its highest point, Toaca Peak, and is considered one of the most sacred mountains in Romanian tradition and Orthodox Christian heritage. Its distinctive flat-topped summit plateau, flanked by vertical sandstone and conglomerate cliffs, is visible from great distances across the Moldavian lowlands. The park adjoins the Izvorul Muntelui reservoir, which adds a significant aquatic element to its landscape.
