From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Poiana Ruscă Mountains (part of the Western Carpathians)[1] are a Carpathian mountain range in western Romania. The mountains are situated roughly south of the Mureș River, northeast of the Timiș River, and west of the Strei River. The Bega River emerges from these mountains. The nearest large towns are Lugoj, Hunedoara, and Caransebeș.
The Poiana Ruscă Mountains cover an area of about 2,640 square kilometres (1,020 sq mi), having mean altitudes from 700 to 1,000 metres (2,300 to 3,300 ft). The highest summit is the Padeș Peak [ro], at 1,382 metres (4,534 ft).
