Peleș Castle is a Neo-Renaissance castle in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, in Prahova County, Romania. By form and function, Peleş is a palace, but it is consistently called a castle. Its architectural style is a romantically inspired blend Neo-Renaissance and Gothic Revival similar to Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavaria. A Saxon influence can be observed in the interior courtyard facades, which have allegorical hand-painted murals and ornate fachwerk similar to that seen in northern European alpine architecture.

Bigar Karstic intermitent spring is a strong spring, fueled by an underground water that passes through the homonym cave from Anina Mountains. After about 200m, the source water, rich in limestone, flows in the river Minis passing over a rocky threshold, forming a cascade of tufa. [Source]
