Retezat

The Retezat Mountains are one of the most popular ranges in Romania. They look a bit like the Western Tatras . However, they are much wilder and less crowded than our native mountains. As a result, hiking the local trails can be an amazing experience and an adventure in itself. The highest peak of Retezat is Vârful Peleaga , which rises to a height of 2509 m above sea level .
