The Munții Apuseni (Apuseni Mountains) in the Romanian Western Carpathians are part of the mighty Carpathian Arc enclosing Transylvania.
The Apuseni Nature Park was established in the Apuseni Mountains in 1990. It covers an area of about 75,000 hectares and is located in the central-eastern part of the Apuseni Mountains. In 2000, it was declared a nature reserve. The park, which lies in the counties of Alba, Cluj and Bihor, is divided into areas with flora and fauna that are particularly worthy of protection.
Hundreds of caves, gorges, mountain ridges and waterfalls await you, and besides bears, wolves, lynxes and eagles, the Apuseni Nature Park, established in this part of the Carpathians, provides an almost untouched habitat for many protected species.
It is mainly located in the counties of Alba, Arad, Bihor, Cluj and Hunedoara and in the economically strong planning regions of Western Romania and Northwestern Romania.
