Vâlcea

The terrain of Vâlcea ranges from the high ridges of the Southern Carpathians in the north to rolling Oltenian hills along its southern edge, giving the county a pronounced mountain-to-lowland character. The Olt, one of Romania’s principal rivers, crosses the eastern part of the county, while the Lotru Valley leads into forests and mountain settlements. Vâlcea is associated with Hurezi Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and with Horezu pottery, whose traditional craft is recognised by UNESCO. Spa towns including Călimănești-Căciulata add another strand to the county’s identity. Browse other webcams across Vâlcea County to place this Carpathian setting in a wider Romanian context.
