Țarcu Mountains

The 1010th highest mountain range in the world

2,196m

The Țarcu Mountains are a mountain range in southwestern Romania, at the western edge of the Southern Carpathians. They are located between the Bistra Valley (to the south), Timiș River (to the east), Godeanu Mountains (to the northwest) and Râul Mare Valley (to the west), with the Râul Mare Valley serving as their natural border with the Retezat Mountains. They were declared a Natura 2000 protected area in 2007 due to their unique biodiversity. Together with the Retezat, Godeanu and Cerna mountains, they constitute the only intact forest landscape in Europe outside of Russia and Scandinavia.
