Touristic potential
Ialomita, Dambovita and Arges are the three rivers that had built their way through the present Dambovita county, merging the mountains(Bucegi and Leoata) with the hills and the plains, offering, due to narrow gorges and caves, a spectacular sight to be explored.
The mountain is dug and torn to pieces by karst formations, spectaculars both for the eye and for climbing and hiking, with a climate that has cultivated rare plants for this area.
The Tatar, Orza and Zanoaga Canyons, and the Horoabe Valley(Valea Horoabelor) are a delight and, in the same time, a challenge for a pleasant adventure. The roads and paths allow good access to the area, which is also great as concerning accommodation. Get yourselves the proper equipment and step firmly.
Such a special relief has also mineral waters with stimulating effects, more precisely in Pucioasa resort (at 21 km from Targoviste), famous for its spas and pools, for kineotherapy and excelent recovery.
An intermediary spot, but compulsory for a journey in Dambovita county, should be the county town – Targoviste, famous for its historical traces and religious buildings.Visit the Chindia Tower, a construction for defence and surveillance, built in the 17th century, considered a central element of the Courtyard and the tourist centre of the city.To return in the time of the voivodes, the people from Targoviste will guide you to the Brancovenesc Palace from Potlogi and to many other cultural buildings (the Mansion of Vacarescu family in Vacaresti;The Printing Press Museum; the Museum of the writers from Targoviste or the memorial house of I.L.Caragiale).A journey is always a chance for study.The flow of Dambovita is a possibility to brush up your style, just like these apparently uncrossable cliffs have been fashioned by time, water and wind.
