The Leaota Mountains are located in central Romania, north of the city of Târgoviște. They are part of the Southern Carpathians group of the Carpathian Mountains, and have as neighbours the Bucegi Mountains to the east and Piatra Craiului to the west. The mountains cover an area of 346 km2 (134 sq mi) within Dâmbovița, Argeș, and Brașov counties.[1]

The 2,133 metres (6,998 feet) high pyramidal Leaota Peak rises in a superb land of dense fir forests, wild animals, few wanderer shepherds, and almost no tourists.

Leaota tourist shelter
The shelter was built in the 1940s at an altitude of 1,330 m (4,360 ft) above sea level. It is currently abandoned, being used sporadically by passing tourists. In 1962 the chalet had running water, electricity generator, permanent buffet and ski slopes arranged nearby. Until 2004, the chalet of the same name operated on the Brăteiului valley, but now it is no longer included in the tourist circuit.[2]
