80-120km from the capital city Bucharest,Prahova Valley is one of the most sought of destination by tourists ,both Romanian and foreighn.At the hills of the Bucegi Mountains,it has three major ski resorts,Sinaia,Busteni and Azuga.Here,both in winter and summer,you will find a lot of people who come to enjoy the peace and serenity that nature has to offer.In summer,from these resorts you can choose a multitude of trails in the forests of the Bucegi Natural Park,cabble cart rides that go all the way up to the top of the mountains,go mountain biking on properly built trails,or,for the more experienced,rock climbing on all difficulty routes.

Castelul Cantacuzino
Castelul Cantacuzino a fost cladit in anul 1911 in parcul al carui proprietar a fost Printul Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino zis “Nababu” din cauza averii sale impresionante. Se spunea ca ar fi putut pava intreaga curte aferenta castelului cu monedele sale de aur. Castelul este inconjurat de cascade, grote si fantani arteziene si este in topul primelor castele din Romaniadin punct de vedere architectural. Castelul a functionat ca sediu al Sanatoriului Ministerului de Interne, apoi in anul 2008 a fost cumparat de catre un grup de investitori si repus in circuitul turistic.
Another monument from Busteni,this time made by Mother Nature,is the ,,Urlatoarea'' watefall.Located on the foothills of the Bucegi Mountains,it is one of the most beautiful watterfalls in Romania. Its name,witch in english translates ,,The Howler'',comes from  the sound the watter makes ,breaking on the rocks below it.
It is visited,anually,by more than 30.000 people,who come here in search of a refreshing,stress reliefing hike.
