- Poiana Uzului Dam — the first dam with buttresses in Romania; the view from the crest opens up the whole valley.
- Poiana Uzului Lake — 334 ha of water between the mountains; a mirror in the morning, ablaze in autumn.
- Nasolea Waterfall — the rock steps in the Uz gorge, a short walk from the tail of the lake.
- The Uz gorge — the road itself is the attraction: cliffs, forest and, after rain, the mist rising from the valley.
- The yew forest — Izvorul Alb — ~300 rare trees, right next to Sălătruc.
- The Nemira Ridge — for a day of real walking: edelweiss up top, bears in the evening stories.
- Bălătău Lake — the lake born of a landslide, in 1883.
- Știrbei Palace — Dărmănești — a category A listed monument from the late 19th century.
- The wooden churches — St Nicholas (1808), Plopu (1795), Lapoș (1813): old timber and anonymous craftsmen.
- The Târgu Ocna Salt Mine — the underground town inside the salt mountain, 35 km away.
