Măcin Mountains National Park
Parcul Național Munții Măcinului
One of Europe's oldest mountain ranges, worn down into low granite hills, with wildflowers and birds of prey across grasslands and forests.
The range lies about 40 km west of Tulcea, with a highest point of just 467 m, which makes for easy hiking. Popular routes such as the Țuțuiatu Peak and Cetatea Peak loop take 2–5 hours. Wild peonies and other grassland flowers bloom in spring, and the hills turn golden in autumn. Entry is free; the visitor center is near the village of Greci. There is no shade in summer, so bring plenty of water and watch out for venomous snakes.
