Leaota Mountains

The Leaota Mountains are located in central Romania, north of the city of Târgoviște. They are part of the Southern Carpathians group of the Carpathian Mountains, and have as neighbours the Bucegi Mountains to the east and Piatra Craiului to the west. The mountains cover an area of 346 km² (134 sq mi) within Dâmbovița, Argeș, and Brașov counties.^[1]

The 2,133 metres (6,998 feet) high pyramidal Leaota Peak [ro] rises in a superb land of dense fir forests, wild animals, few wanderer shepherds, and almost no tourists.
