Owl Castle

Owl Castle in Borsec, known in Romanian as Cetatea Bufnițelor, is one of the town's most unique natural attractions. This rugged, steep rock formation towers above the spa resort and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Borsec Basin, the surrounding mountains, and the distant Bistrița Valley. The name originates from the birds of prey, particularly owls, that nest around the rocks and are often observed in the area.
