Situated along the valley of one of the longest rivers in Romania, Olt, the area of Cozia National Park extends on over 17,000 hectares and includes Cozia Mountain, partially Capatanii, and Lotrului Mountains. With a maximum altitude of 1,668 meters, these mountains are not nearly as tall as the nearby Fagaras. But their abrupt slopes make hiking here an unexpectedly intense experience that can prove to be difficult during snowy winters.
