Bucegi Mountains (Romanian: Munții
Bucegi [ˈmunt͡sij buˈt͡ʃed͡ʒʲ] ( listen)) are
located in central Romania, south of the city
of Brașov. They are part of the Southern
Carpathians group of the Carpathian
Mountains. At 2,505 m (8,219 ft), Omu is its
highest point.[1]
To the east, the Bucegi Mountains have a
very steep slope towards the popular tourist
destinations in the Prahova Valley, such
as Bușteni and Sinaia. At a higher elevation
is the Bucegi Plateau, where wind and rain
have turned the rocks into spectacular
figures such as the Sphinx and Babele.
The Bucegi is believed to be
the Dacian holy mountain Kogainon, on
which the God Zalmoxis resided in a cave.[2]
