What people say

Andreea Cutov
"Dominating the landscape, the Caraiman Cross stands at a staggering height of 2,291 meters, making it one of the most iconic symbols of the Bucegi Mountains. The trail leading to Crucea Caraiman is a perfect blend of challenges and beauty. As you ascend, you'll navigate through dense forests, rocky pathways, and open meadows. Your efforts will be handsomely rewarded with sweeping panoramas of the Bucegi Mountains, Prahova Valley, and the charming town of Busteni below. The trailhead is conveniently accessible from Busteni, and various routes cater to hikers of different skill levels."
"The Heroes' Cross was built between 1926 and 1928 in the memory of the railway heroes who died on duty in World War I fighting against the armies of the Central Powers. The cross was erected at the initiative of Marie of Edinburgh and King Ferdinand of Romania in order to be seen from a large distance as possible."
"2 hours away from Cabana Babele, unique in Europe, it was built to honor the memory of the Ceferist heroes who fell on duty in the First World War. A must-see place! You can have a picnic at the base, just bring your own food and water; fantastic view!"
