Ialomiţa Cave, the most visited cave in the Bucegi Mountains, is a point of great interest for tourism in Dâmboviţa County. Hermits have been sheltering at the springs of Ialomiţa since the 15th century, but the Ialomiţa Monastery was built in the 15th century, right at the entrance to Ialomiţa Cave.

Ialomiţa Cave is located on the right slope of the Ialomiţa Gorges, in the locality of Moroeni, Dâmboviţa County, on Mount Bâtrâna, about 10 km from the sources of the Ialomiţa River, at an altitude of 1,530 m.

Right at the entrance to the Ialomiţa Cave is the Ialomiţa Monastery, built in the 16th century, founded by the voivode of Wallachia, Mihnea the Evil.

It is suspected that the hermitage of Mihnea Vodă cel Rău was burned and rebuilt several times, being built of fir beams, covered from top to bottom in beautifully carved screens.

Bucegi Natural Park is one of the 27 natural and national parks in Romania.

The Bucegi Mountains area, about which there were references since the 15th century, has been proposed for protection since 1936, due to the unparalleled landscapes and the diversity of plant and animal species specific to this massif.

Bolboci is a vast lake, created by artificially blocking the Ialomița River in 1988, through a dam. The rivers Blana, Nucet, Bolboci and Plaiul Mircii also flow into Bolboci Lake.

Bolboci Lake is one of the most beautiful and spectacular places in the country, which, above all, has preserved its wild naturalness. This is precisely what makes Bolboci Lake one of the most visited mountain lakes in Romania.
