The Sphinx:

The legendary Sphinx of the Bucegi Mountains (2200 m altitude) is a rock shaped by wind and other natural phenomenon as man's head. It is considered to represent a spiritually powerful place and a symbol of the spirit of the Dacians, ancestors of the Romanian people.

Just like the Mystery Mountain in Austria, Untersberg, we finds a Monastery in front of the Cave. In one small room there are relics that date back to St Ioan Casian, who used the cave as a hermitage. (See Below). 

Bucegi Mountains

The Bucegi Mountains (Romanian: Munţii Bucegi [ˈmunt͡sij buˈt͡ʃed͡ʒʲ], Hungarian: Bucsecs-hegység) are located in central Romania, south of the city Braşov. They are part of the Southern Carpathians group of the Carpathian Mountains. To the east, the Bucegi Mountains have a very steep slope towards the popular tourist destination Prahova Valley (a.o. Buşteni and Sinaia). At a higher elevation is the Bucegi Plateau, where wind and rain have turned the rocks into spectacular figures such as the Sphinx and Babele.

The Bucegi is believed to be the Dacian Holy Mountain Kogainon, on which the mythical figure Zalmoxis resided in a cave.[1]

The monastery is still under construction (being quite a young monastery) but it features a cave, the original cave where St Ioan Casian used to live. In order to get from the monastery yard to the actual cave, we did need to put our navigation skills to test, because the signs are confusing, to say the least and an autumn rain was starting to pour over us.

When we finished the descent we found out that we then needed to climb back a part of our descent, but this time on a much steeper approach.
