About Fagaras Mountains

Fagaras (German: Fogarasch, Fugreschmarkt, Hungarian: Fogaras) is a city in central Romania, located in Brasov County. It lies on the Olt River and has a population of 35,400 as of 2004.

Although the city has become almost totally Romanian-populated through Saxon and Hungarian emigration, the diverse background is still obvious. The most important attraction points in the city are the fortress, Radu Negru High school, the Reformed Church and the local Catholic church.

Fagaras Mountains (Romanian: Muntii Fagarasului, Hungarian: Fogarasi-havasok) are the highest mountains of the Southern Carpathians, in Romania. The highest peaks are Moldoveanu (2544 m), Negoiu (2535 m), Vistea Mare (2527 m), Lespezi (2522 m), Vânatoarea lui Buteanu (2507 m), and Dara (2501 m).

They are bordered in the north by the Fagaras Depression, through which the Olt river flows, and in the west by the Olt Valley (Valea Oltului). The city nearest to the mountain range is Fagaras located 20 km to the north. Other important cities are Brasov and Sibiu.

A road called the Transfagarasan is constructed across the Fagaras Mountains.
