Photographer’s Note
A little (cca. 25 meters), but beautiful waterfall from Ceahlau Montains - Ceahlau National Park - Romania.
The Ceahlau Massif, wherein the park has been created, is placed in the north-central part of Eastern Carpathians, towards the western boundary of Neamţ County.
The main access points are Durău resort (Ceahlău commun) and the village Izvorul Muntelui, belonging to the small town of Bicaz. One can reach Durău resort from Topliţa, from Bicaz, following the left-hand contour road of Izvorul Muntelui Lake, or from the town of Tg.-Neamt. A rail track ends up in Bicaz. The alternative route, from Bicazul Ardelean is seldom used by tourists.
This area is interesting one, due to the differential erosion through conglomerates, which brought about steep rocky slopes (under the top of Ocolaşu Mare), towers (Panaghia, Claia lui Miron), columns and pillars. The karst is not typical for this park, the pure limestone being quite rare. As the slopes are frequently broken off, waterfalls and steep descendent flows have occurred, the most famous being Duruitoarea Waterfall. The Izvorul Muntelui reservoir stretches eastward; it is the largest inland lake (3, hectares).
