The Cernegura - Bahrin mountain complex is located near the town of Piatra-Neamt, in the southern part, over the river Bistrita. Its peaks offer true spectacles of nature in all four seasons and are an extraordinary place to relax.

The starting point of the route is near the Reconstruction Lake located near the bridge at the Caprioara restaurant. From here one climbs on a winding path through the forest to the first meadow where the locals come in summer and stand on the green grass and barbecue. Then, the path climbs more and more steeply through the forest, sometimes intersecting with the forest road along which we enter slowly, slowly in the wild beauty of nature. The Cernegura hill that runs in the southwest part of the city of Piatra Neamt is covered with the most dense and varied vegetation so that the road to the top represents a real challenge. Although the route is not marked it is easy to find: you have no way to get lost. The trail is beaten by hundreds of tourists, lovers of hiking, who come year after year and enjoy the peace and charm of the forest. At the beginning of the route you will be greeted by the deciduous forests where you will find specimens of beech, birch, hornbeam, oak, cherry, apple and poplar. Along with these you will find shrubs like mace, horn and peanut but also numerous species of grasses, flowers and plants characteristic of the steppe. On the way, on your return you can use the spring that cuts your way with a cup of clean and cold mountain water. Then you will enter the magic of the forest again and do not realize when the time passes and you are back in the city.

Mount Cozla, besides the ski slope and the cable car, is also known for the tourist routes appreciated by nature lovers. Mount Cozla patrols the northern part of the city of Piatra Neamt, being located in the vicinity of the village of Garcina and having a maximum altitude of 679 m at the "Trei Caldari" point. The route on Cozla has several starting points and can be traveled either on foot from Piatra-Neamt, or with the Telegondola de la Gara to the point "Trei Coline" and then on foot to the point "Trei Caldari".

A place to look and heaven for amateur or professional photographers, Simon Peak is the perfect destination in any season. The route can be traveled within two hours at a walking distance, being accessible for cyclists as well. The peak of Simon, located above the churches, brings great peace of mind to those who come here. Access is relatively easy, for any age; from the Sanatorium Bisericani we go north, to the few blocks where the sanatorium staff once lived. After we pass these, in a slight ascent towards the winding road between the secular oak trees we reach a large meadow where we go to the left, following an old road that takes us on the level curve (in Simon's Saddle), from where we start the ascent to the top . The satisfaction after reaching Simon's peak is maximum. You have the impression that you see half of Romania from here, but in reality you only see the city of Piatra-Neamt that curves around Pietricica. Even a more inexperienced eye can see that Simon Peak was fortified during the war. In the ground you can see the traces of the fortification surrounded by a trench network, and some elders still tell of the high caliber cannon located in the middle.
