Crammed between the Godeanu and the Retezat, these mountains are not very popular except for some Enduro motorcyclists. Other than that, the Țarcu make it for some fine scenery, relatively high altitude (for Romania) and extensive trekking trails. Add here an easy access from Caransebeș and you are there. Just mind the fact that Țarcu Peak (2190 m.a.s.l.) is not the highest in these mountains, as it comes third after Căieanu (2196 m.a.s.l.) and Pietrii (2192 m.a.s.l.). For ideas of cycling and trekking routes in these mountains and not only, refer to my GPS track page.
