Geography





Bistrița Valley


This county has an area of 5,897 km².[4]:17


The relief decreases from west to east. In the western part, there are mountains, the Eastern Carpathians, with heights of over 1800m and the impressive peak of Mount Ceahlău. Along the Bicaz River lies the canyon of Cheile Bicazului. Construction of the Bicaz Dam in the 1950s on the Bistrița River led to the formation of the Lake Bicaz (Lake Izvorul Muntelui), the largest artificial lake completely in Romania.[4]:15


On the western side, the lowest point, at about 160m, is found along Siret River's valley.
