Bihor

Built around the river basins of the Criș, Bihor grew into a large county in western Romania, where the lowlands of Crișana rise toward the Apuseni Mountains. The Crișul Repede crosses its northern half and links the county seat, Oradea, with the Hungarian borderlands. Eastward, the Bihor Mountains bring limestone plateaus, forests and caves; Peștera Urșilor near Chiscău is known for the cave-bear remains found there. Oradea adds an urban counterpoint, with its restored fortress and a notable Art Nouveau streetscape. The county also reflects the mixed Romanian, Hungarian and other communities of this borderland.
