Zărnești - Piatra Craiului is an ecotourism area certified by the National Authority for Tourism. You have a lot to discover here! The town of Zărnești is located at the base of the Piatra Craiului massif. Zărnești is the main starting point for various routes and tourist attractions. The main type of tourism that is practiced in the area is mountain and recreational. Sports tourism is also developing (mountaineering, cycling, parachuting, horseback riding, skiing, motocross). The natural rock fortress of Pietra Craiului is unique among the mountains in our country. The ridge of about 25 kilometers long forms one of the most beloved mountain landscapes in Romania, a place where mountaineers, climbers and researchers alike, can be amazed by the diversity of the place here. The specific landscape of the Piara Craiului National Park is characterized by a lonely ridge, which reaches a length of about 25 km, which is oriented in the NE-SW direction and positioned across the general direction of the ridge of the Southern Carpathians. It is the longest and highest limestone ridge in the country. The maximum height of the massif is reached in La Om Peak (or Baciului Peak) which reaches 2,238m. If we leisurely study the peculiarities of the park, we will discover a great variety of shapes and dimensions of the relief: rock corners, needles, pyramids, edges, towers, belts and chimneys. The large number of valleys, rubble, natural arcades and alpine hollows complete the visual spectacle, along with particularly spectacular cliffs. The first nature reserve in Piatra Craiului was established in 1938 and had only 440ha, but in 1972 it doubled its area. The national park was established in 1990 and covers almost 15,000 ha, of which a third is a special conservation area. Libearty, ranked by the National Geographic Traveller the most ethical wildlife attraction, is the largest brown bear sanctuary in the world, managed by The Millions of Friends Association." train, car or bicycle
