The Rooster`s Crest In Maramures, Romania Stock Image

It is called the “Rooster’s Crest” because it resembles a gigantic rooster crest. But beyond the easy-to-understand origin of the name, the crest of the Gutâi Mountains is of special significance: it is the last remnant – and the most spectacular – of a volcanic crater that erupted 9 million years ago here, in the place we call today Maramures.
