Spend Your Summer Holiday in the Rarău Mountains!

In Romania, mountain scenery is as spectacular as can be, attracting an impressive number of tourists every year.

Mountain tourism is an important branch of the economy, which is no surprise given the perfect natural setting.

The Rarău Mountains are in the heart of Bukovina, in the north of the country, and the area is considered a wellspring of beauty.

In terms of infrastructure too, we see that the resort is modern. The roads are accessible and the mountain trails are well organised, so tourists easily reach the accommodation as well as the sights in this location.

As for geographical location, the Rarău Mountains are separated from the Giumalău Mountains by the Colbu river, in the west. To the north we find the Obcinele Bucovinei, which are very well known to travel lovers.

Tourists also come to these parts to visit Pietrele Doamnei (the Lady’s Rocks), a spectacular geological formation.

To reach the massif, we have to take an unusual route, enjoying the peace and beauty of nature.

The Rarău Mountains are in the central part of the Eastern Carpathians, and in recent years more and more foreign tourists choose to spend their holidays in this area.

Both the flora and the fauna are diverse, and the Rarău Massif also stands out for its fairly steep shape.

Whether we choose to spend a weekend in Câmpulung Moldovenesc or a week, we will have plenty of activities. From outdoor walks to mountaineering, all these activities help us switch off from the bustle of big cities and get closer to nature.

The trails are accessible, both for beginners and for experienced people. In the resort we also find accommodation offering premium services.

On a holiday in Bukovina we will also appreciate the traditional dishes, which have a special taste. They include porcini mushroom stew, haiduc-style chicken, Rădăuți-style soup and baked trout.

Variety of landscape is the phrase that best describes the Rarău area. Besides the mountain massif, we will find alpine and subalpine meadows, where the vegetation is delightful.

The forests are evergreen, made up mainly of conifer species, among them pine, spruce and larch.

In the summer season, when nature is in full growth, the scenery is like something from a fairy tale. We find numerous species of wildflowers that beautify the whole place.

Two fairly important rivers also rise in the Rarău Mountains, namely the Bistrița and the Putna.

To get to these parts, you will need to follow the road signs on the Suceava-Câmpulung-Vatra Dornei route.

It is worth knowing that the Rarău Massif is considered the epicentre of tourism in Bukovina.

So, if you are planning a holiday in a mountain area, you should also consider the north of Moldavia.

Here we find picturesque scenery and a relaxing atmosphere, where we can unwind and forget the stress accumulated lately.
