Șureanu Mountains

The Şureanu Mountains belong to Romania's Parâng range in the Southern Carpathians, with peaks frequently exceeding 2,000 meters. The mountains, located north of Romania's Jiu Valley, are primarily characterized as a highland with meadows and pastures, with very large forested area throughout the surrounding 1,200-1,400 meters high mountains. In the southern area of these mountains there is a limestone region with several caves, hills and gorges. Examples of these are the Cioclovina, Tecuri, Sura Mare caves.
