The Bucegi Mountains, located in the west, as a giant guard of the settlement, dominate Sinaia through a steep over 1000 m. Peaks over 2000 m, shining in summer in the beating of the sun, and in the winter under the white coat of snow, are sprinkled on the edge of the great abrupt Bucegi Mountains, one of the most impressive in Romania.
