Ciuc Mountains

Ciuc Mountains are a mid-high range of mountains of Harghita County in Transylvania, Romania. Geologically they belong to the Căliman-Harghita Mountains group of the Inner Eastern Carpathians. Within Romania, however, it is traditional to divide the Eastern Carpathians into three geographical groups instead. The Romanian categorization includes the Ciuc Mountains within the central Carpathians of Moldavia and Transylvania. The Trotuș River emerges from these mountains. The highest peak is Noșcolat, at 1,553 m. ()
