Predeal
Few places in Brașov County have a history as closely tied to the railway crossing the Southern Carpathians as Predeal. Set near the pass between the Prahova and Timiș valleys, the town has long been a key link on the route between Bucharest and Brașov. Until 1918, Predeal was a frontier station on the border between the Kingdom of Romania and Austria-Hungary, a role that gave the settlement lasting strategic importance. Forested slopes of the Bucegi and Piatra Mare mountain areas frame a compact resort town whose character is still shaped by rail traffic, the DN1 road and mountain tourism. Predeal is also a familiar base for walks and winter sports in the surrounding Carpathians.

Built around a railway station on the Bucharest–Brașov line, Predeal grew into Romania’s highest town and a long-established mountain resort in the Southern Carpathians. At about 1,033 metres above sea level, it stands on the Prahova Valley corridor between the Bucegi and Piatra Mare mountains, with conifer forests and ski slopes close to town. The Clăbucet ski area anchors its winter-sports identity, while Predeal’s former role as a frontier station recalls the border between the Kingdom of Romania and Austria-Hungary before 1918.
