Rodna - Gateway to the Rodna Mountains
Carpathian peak in Bistrița-Năsăud county
What it feels like
Wind at altitude, panoramic views, the air thin and clean. The bigger sky above the tree line.
Rodna, at the foot of the Rodna Mountains, is the access point for Pietrosul Rodnei (2,303 m), the Cailor Waterfall (90 m) and the glacial lakes. Former silver and copper mines documented since the 18th century and rare wild mountain scenery make Rodna a complete base for mountain tourism.
