The hidden treasure to discover
The Retezat Mountains are one of the most imposing mountains in the Carpathians, characterized by picturesque boulders, dense coniferous forests, and glacial lakes. Always in the shadow of the more well-known Fagaras and Apuseni neighbours, they are still a truly delight for those who dare to visit them. This mountain chain is part of the Southern Carpathians. The most spectacular part of the massif, The Big Retezat, consists of crystalline rocks, while the southern part, The Small Retezat, is characterized by great masses of limestone. The two parts join near Bucura glacial Lake.
