Close to the River Teleajen's source, at an altitude of 880 m, in a small depression
guarded by the peaks of Zaganu Mountains (1883 m), Ciucas Mountains (1956m) and
Bobu (1684m), there is the Maneciu Resort, facing the sun for the most part of
the day. The sub-alpine climate, with an intensely ozonized air, and with cool
summers is recommended for asthmatic persons as well as for those who feel intellectually
overworked. | | |  |
 | Starting
from Cheia, one-day excursions to the most interesting spots of the Ciucas and
Zaganu Mountains can be organized. The rock formations here and in the Bucegi
Mountains create picturesque and strange relief units. Among others, there is
a "Sphinx" close to Bratocea Gorge called "Babele la sfat"
and another rock grouping called "Goliat's Tower. | |
Rasnov, with its rustic city built between the 14th and 17th centuries atop
a huge rock formation, dominates the surroundings. Within its fortress is a well,
which, according to legend, would have been dug by two Turkish prisoners in exchange
for being released if they found water. The prisoners, so the story goes, dug
for 19 years to reach a depth of 140 meters, but it is not known whether or not
they were finally released after finding water. |  |
