Hășmașu Mare
Hășmașu Mare / Nagy-Hagymás
The highest peak in the national park at about 1,792 metres, with a limestone ridge and alpine meadows; a full-day hike.
Hășmașu Mare is the highest peak in Bicaz Gorge–Hășmaș National Park. A long limestone ridge runs along its summit, which has alpine meadows and wide views over the eastern Carpathians. The usual routes start from Red Lake via Pângărați Pass, or from Bălan on the southern side. The round trip takes about 7–9 hours, a long day hike, so set out early and bring plenty of water and windproof clothing. Watch the trail markings and changing weather, and note that bears are occasionally seen in the mountains.
