The Moldavian Subcarpathians are separated from the rest of the Moldavian Plateau by the Siret and Moldova River valleys (north and east), and are bounded by the Curvature Subcarpathians (Romanian: Subcarpații de Curbură) to the south. The highest point is Pleșului Ridge (northwest of Târgu Neamț), with an altitude of 911 metres (2,989 feet).
