Trekking Route in Piatra Neamt: Batca Doamnei Hill

Located at near 4 km from the town, the ruins of the Stronghold Batca Doamnei Hill represents a belvedere vantage point of Piatra Neamt and the Bistrita Valley. Although there is not much left from the stronghold (only a small wall), the walk to the top of the hill is a pleasant experience.

The route can be started at the pier from “Peste Vale” where parking is available to leave cars. Regardless of the weather, the route is accessible all year long. It’s not difficult to reach the top of the hill (approx 457 m). The entire hill seems to be separated apart from the surrounding landscape of mountains.

The access to the top can be made only through the south side of the hill. The trail starts from the main road and goes to the top, arriving at the remains of the stronghold.
