Bistrița-Năsăud

Bistrița-Năsăud occupies a northern Transylvanian upland in Romania, where the Someșul Mare River runs west from the Eastern Carpathians toward the Transylvanian Basin. The county combines the broad valley around Bistrița with the Rodna Mountains on its northeastern edge; Pietrosul Rodnei, at 2,303 metres, is their highest summit. Bistrița retains the legacy of its medieval German-speaking Saxon community, notably in the Evangelical Church, whose tower defines the old centre. The former frontier town of Năsăud gives the county its second name and a distinct local identity. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Bistrița-Năsăud.
