The natural stone fortress of Piatra Craiului is unique among the mountains in our country. The specific landscape is characterized by a lonely ridge, reaching a length of about 25 km and heights of over 2,000 meters La Om Peak (or Piscul Baciului) is the highest and measures 2.238 m.
f we study the peculiarities of the massif, we will discover a great variety of relief shapes and dimensions: rock cliffs, pins, pyramids, edges, towers, girdles, and chimneys. A large number of valleys, stunts, natural arches, and alpine gaps complete the visual spectacle, along with particularly spectacular steep slopes.

Here live 1,170 plant species, almost 30% of the plants found in our country, of which 181 are protected. Among these species we mention only the most famous ones: Pietrei Craiului garlic, yew, angelica, sturgeon, yellow poppy, lime, corner flower, wild gladioli, bulb, and mountain peony.

Piatra Craiului hosts an impressive number of mountain orchid species, 41 of the 58 species existing on the territory of Romania.

The climatic and geological conditions, the geomorphology and structure of flora and vegetation in Piatra Craiului have determined the preservation of a special diversity in the mammalian group. Of the 100 species of fauna of the whole country, over 40% live in Piatra Craiului.
