16-773: Geologically the Piatra Mare Mountains stand at the southern end of the grand arc of the Eastern Carpathians , and between the inner ring of the Inner Eastern Carpathians and the outer ring of the Outer Eastern Carpathians . The neighbouring Postăvarul Massif is also positioned in the same transitional area. The range consists mainly of limestone and Carpathian flysch . The rock forms a predominantly north–south ridge, from which structured side combs extend to

32-429: A bigger Alps-Himalaya System that stretches from western Europe all the way to southern Asia, and are further divided into " provinces " and "subprovinces". The last level of the division, i.e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, is usually classified as "units". The main divisions are shown in the map on the right. To generalize, there are three major provinces (regions): Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, and

48-823: A higher level "title" is known/sure, it is added at the end of the name in brackets, e.g. "(subprovince)". The names are also given in the language of the corresponding country and marked by the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes : The most confusing and diverse is the classification of the Beskids , including the Western Beskids , the Central Beskids and the Eastern Beskids . Their geologic features are fairly distinct, but multiple traditions, languages, and nationalities have developed overlapping variants for

80-1090: Is denoted as "Eastern Carpathians" only the part basically on their territory (i.e.to the north of the Prislop Pass ), while in Romania sometimes use to call "Eastern Carpathians" ( Carpații Orientali ) only the other part, which lies on their territory (i.e. from the Ukrainian border or from the Prislop Pass to the south). In some Polish classifications, Central Beskids and Central Beskidian Piedmont belongs to Western Carpathians province and Outer Western Carpathians subprovince. Wooded Beskids (PL: Beskidy Lesiste; UA: Лісисті Бескиди): Polonynian Beskids (PL: Beskidy Połonińskie; UA: Полонинські Бескиди; SK: Poloniny): Criș Mountains ( Munții Criș ) : Seș-Meseș Mountains ( Munții Seș-Meseșului ): Bihor Massif ( Masivul Bihor ): Mureș Mountains ( Munții Mureșului ): (Note: sometimes considered part of

96-628: Is encircled by, and geologically a part of, the Carpathians. But it is not a mountainous region and its inclusion is disputed in some sources. Its features are included below. The Serbian Carpathians are sometimes considered part of the Southern Carpathians (together with the Banat Mountains ), sometimes not considered part of the Carpathians at all. They're included below. The regions of Outer Subcarpathia lay outside

112-457: Is traditionally applied within broader use of the term " Wooded Carpathians ", that encompasses all mountain ranges within the central section of Outer Eastern Carpathians , including Eastern Beskids with Polonynian Mountains , and also all mountains within the northern section of Inner Eastern Carpathians , including Vihorlat-Gutin Area and Maramureș-Rodna Area . The Transylvanian Plateau

128-907: The Eastern Alpine Foreland. The adjacent hilly landscape of the Lower Austrian Weinviertel region with its extensive loess layers border on the limestone rock formations of the South-Moravian Carpathians . In the Czech Republic, the depression is situated on the outskirts of the White Carpathians in Moravia , including the Pálava Protected Landscape Area . In Poland they stretch along

144-645: The Outer Western Carpathians and Outer Eastern Carpathians . It stretches from northeastern Austria , through eastern Czech Republic , southern Poland , western Ukraine and northeastern Romania . The opposite foothill regions on the inner side of the Carpathian arc are known as Inner Subcarpathia , transitioning further to the Pannonian Basin . The western end is marked by the (northern) Vienna Basin , separating it from

176-696: The Southern Carpathians) (Note: sometimes considered part of the Southern Carpathians) Transylvanian Plateau ( Podișul Transilvaniei ): The Outer Subcarpathian regions are divided into Western, Northern, etc. and are usually treated as part of the individual parts of the Carpathian Mountains, i.e. of Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, etc. Since, however, it was impossible to find their exact subdivision, they are given only as

192-459: The Southern Carpathians. The division is largely (with many exceptions) undisputed at the lowest level (except for the Ukrainian part), but various divisions are given for the higher levels, especially for the penultimate level. A geomorphological division has been used as much as the data was available; other new physiogeographic divisions were used in other cases. Where the classification of

208-689: The broad arc of the entire formation and are usually listed as part of the individual divisions of the Carpathian Mountains, i.e. of Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, etc. With the difficulty of finding their exact subdivisions, they are given only as a list of the final units ( mountains etc.) from the west to the east and south, in a separate listing at the end. (CZ: Jihomoravské Karpaty , AT: Österreichisch-Südmährische Karpaten ) (CZ: Středomoravské Karpaty ) (CZ/SK: Slovensko-moravské Karpaty ) (CZ: Západobeskydské podhůří , PL: Pogórze Zachodniobeskidzkie ) (CZ: Západní Beskydy , SK: Západné Beskydy , PL: Beskidy Zachodnie ) Western section of

224-579: The divisions and names of these ranges. In Romania , it is usual to divide the Eastern Carpathians in Romanian territory into three formal groups (northern, central, southern), instead in Outer and Inner sections of Eastern Carpathians. The Romanian approach is shown by adding the following abbreviations to the names of units within Romania: A similar standard (grouping of outer and inner sections)

240-484: The treeless summit that allows an unobstructed panoramic view in all directions, the main landmarks are: Piatra Mare is a popular hiking destination: Eastern Carpathians Divisions of the Carpathians are a categorization of the Carpathian mountains system. Below is a detailed overview of the major subdivisions and ranges of the Carpathian Mountains . The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of

256-400: The west, and steep drops to the east. The highest peak, also called Piatra Mare , stands at 1844 m (although sources differ on the exact height). Since 2015 the area was filed with recreational activities, a zip line that starts at the 7 steps cascades and ends at Dâmbul Morii. The seven cascades area was rebuilt in 2014. The mountain is a popular recreation and hiking area. In addition to
