County Neamţ

 
County Neamţ
In Moldova

It's Rock Solid Romania!

The Neamţ region has so much to offer, from the stunning Mountain Spring Lake to the Bicaz Gorge and the Monasteries of Moldova. 

In addition to the two main cities of Piatra Neamţ and Roman, County Neamţ features the smaller towns of Bicaz, Roznov, and Târgu Neamţ.   There are 76 communes, the better known being Băltăţeşti, Girov, Hangu, Humuleşti, Poiana Largului, Pângăraţi, Săvineşti and Bodeşti, along with a fair few villages too. 

Neamţ county is known as the region with most monasteries per square kilometre in the world. 

It boasts a rich and varied landscape, with elements of great beauty, and lots of cultural and historical vestiges.  The local people are renowned for their hospitality. 
The Moldavian art style, of great originality and stylistic unity, was developed by blending Gothic elements with the Byzantine structure specific to the churches.  Among such constructions, the monumental church of the Neamţ Monastery served, for more than a century, as a model for Moldavian churches and monasteries.

Geography

County Neamţ borders fellow Molodvan counties Iaşi and Vaslui to the east and Bacău to the south.  Over the Eastern Carpathians in Transilvania is County Harghita, and to the north, Suceava.

With an area of 5, 896 km˛, the topography of the county decreases in elevation from west to east.  In the west there are mountains from the Eastern Carpathians group with heights over 1800m, the most impressive being the Mount Ceahlău.  Along the Bicaz River an impressively long chasm-like canyon has formed, the Bicaz Chasms. 
The construction of the Bicaz Dam in the 1950s on the Bistriţa River lead to the appearance of the Lake Bicaz, or the Mountain Spring Lake, the biggest artificial lake on the interior waters of Romania, rivalling Swiss postcards for it's beauty. 
In the East side, the lowest point is along the Siret River valley at about 160m. 

Demographics

In 2002, it had a population of 557, 000 and the population density was 99/km˛, almost all Romanian (99%) with small pockets of Rromas and Hungarians.

Economy

The predominant industries in the county include the chemical industry, automotive parts manufacturing, the textile industry, food production and processing, and some construction materials for good measure.

Towns

In addition to the two main cities of Piatra Neamţ and Roman, County Neamţ features the smaller towns of Bicaz, Roznov, and Târgu Neamţ.   There are 76 communes, the better known being Băltăţeşti, Girov, Hangu, Humuleşti, Poiana Largului, Pângăraţi, Săvineşti and Bodeşti, along with a fair few villages too.
