Autumn in Romania

Part of the southeastern Carpathian Mountains in central Romania is featured in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image from 26 October 2024.

Zoom in to explore this image at its full 10 m resolution.

The different shades of green and brown in the image highlight the colours of autumn in the mountains. Local weather, altitude and orientation of the slopes and the different tree species in these pristine deciduous forests are responsible for the stunning hues typical of the season.

The image encompasses several national parks, including Piatra Craiului, Bucegi and the Glodeasa national reserve. Partly visible at the top of the image is the Romanian city of Brasov. It is the most important city in the area and one of the largest industrial and cultural centres in the country.
