Maramures is a pictoresque region of Romania as well as a county with Baia Mare as capital. Almost half the surface of the county is occupied by the Gutai, Tibles and Rodna Mountains with its tallest peak Pietrosul (2303 m). You can almost reach the summit of Pietrosul by foot from the small town of Borsa in less than a day. The scenery is nothing short of fantastic and there's also a small small lake shaped almost like Romania near the top. The Tisa River, which makes up the border with Ukraine, is crossing the region as well as its affluents such as the Iza, the Mara or the Viseu |
