Embark on an unforgettable adventure with us! A trek across the ridge of the Fagaras Mountains is undoubtedly stunning, yet strenuous and demanding!
Did you realize?
The word ‘Fagaras’ is believed to be derived from ‘fagar’, an ancient term symbolizing a massive, aged beech forest.
In bygone eras, the lower region of Fagaras Mountains was enveloped in Oak woodland. All that’s left today is ‘Dumbrava Vadului’ where, amidst the oak trees, we find daffodils (Narcissus stellaris), colloquially referred to as coprine.
The Fagaras Mountains host ‘Mioarelor’ glacial lake (2282 m), the loftiest glacial lake in the entire Carpathian mountain belt.
The Fagaras Mountains boast of 8 out of the 14 Carpathian mountain peaks that rise to an elevation of 2500 m: Moldoveanu (2544 m), Negoiu (2535 m), Coltul Vistei Mari (2527 m), Lespezi (2522 m), Cornu Caltunului (2510 m), Vanatoarea lui Buteanu (2507 m), Hartopu (2506 m), and Dara (2500 m). Moreover, there are more than 42 peaks that lie at elevations between 2400 and 2500 m.
