What To Expect
Bucegi Mountains
To the east, the Bucegi Mountains have a very steep slope towards the popular tourist destinations in the Prahova Valley, such as Bușteni 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 Dacian holy mountain Kogainon, on which the God Zalmoxis resided in a cave.
Tranbucegi Road was inaugurated in 2013 and you can find it on the map as DJ 713. The portion accessible by car ends at Plaiul lui Păcală. From here you go on a foot hike to Babele. The route takes about an hour, an hour and a half depending on the physical condition and the number of stops

5.00I believe one of the must do hikes in Romania. Such a huge place to explore. You have to experience to start the hike from the parking spot if you are able to do so otherwise there is an option to take the cable car which shorten your overall experience. The team was very helpful and trustworthy. Sebastian was quick to respond about my inquiry and helped me organize the day with the help of his team mate Dan who guided me all throughout my hike and do not worry they all speaks well in English! Thank you for making my request so easy! And indeed made my visit in Romania more memorable!
