Not few are those who, once on top of Ceahlău Massif, hardly wait to come back, as the mountain fascinates through the beauty of landscapes, the unusual places and numerous rocks carrying stories and legends of their own. At the same time, Ceahlău Massif is widely known for the mysterious phenomena appearing here: “The Shadow of the Pyramid” and “The Stairway to Heaven”, visible especially on the 6^th of August every year, when people celebrate “Ceahlău Mountain Festival”. Dating back in time more than 5 millennia, the strange phenomena are still being observed by scientists nowadays.

During winter, Durău Resort proposes tourists a fairy tale like scenery whose splendor words cannot tell.
