Curvature Carpathians

The Curvature Carpathians (Romanian: Carpații de Curbură; Hungarian: Kárpátkanyar) are the Southernmost stretch of the Eastern Carpathians, stretching from the Trotuș River to the Prahova River.[1][2] The highest peak is Ciucaș (1954 m).

The Curvature Carpathians are one of the three traditional classifications of the Eastern Carpathians in Romania:

  • In the north, the Carpathians of Maramureș and Bucovina (Munții Carpaţi ai Maramureșului și Bucovinei).
  • In the center, the Carpathians of Moldavia and Transylvania (Munții Carpați Moldo-Transilvani).
  • In the south, the Curvature Carpathians (Munții Carpați de Curbură).

They include:

Geologically, based on the divisions of the Carpathians, the entirety of the Curvature Carpathians are part of the Outer Eastern Carpathians.
