Bicaz Canyon from Neamt County

Neamt County has an area of 5,896 km².

The relief decreases from west to east. In the western part, there are mountains, the Eastern Carpathians, with heights over 1800 m and the impressive peak of Mount Ceahlău. Along the Bicaz River lies the stunning canyon of Cheile Bicazului. Construction of the Bicaz Dam in the 1950s on the Bistriţa River led to the formation of the Lake Bicaz (Lake Izvorul Muntelui Lake), Romania's largest artificial lake

On the western side, the lowest point, at about 160 m, is found along Siret River's valley.
