In spite of the heights, some of the most accessible passings in the Carpathians in Romania are along the rivers who cross the mountain range (the Olt River ) or who form wide valleys (along the Prahova River valley or along the Jiu River valley). MOUNTAIN RANGES From east to west, four mountain groups can be identified, separated by different river valleys.
The first two goups are steepest on the North side, and the last two are steepest on the South side. SEE ALSO
