Abstract

Prahova Valley is one of the most important tourism regions in the Romanian Carpathians due to its natural potential and multiple tourist facilities. The paper presents, in terms of geomorphology, the uniqueness and individuality of this Prahova Valley sector. Prahova Valley is framed into several mountain units that are various in both morphological and petrographic terms and give the landscape distinctive features. An area with a length of 35 km and a width depending on the watershed was analyzed. The aim of this study is to present how the geographical landscape of Prahova Valley has changed due to the Comarnic – Predeal highway, also called the road of snow. The national road was modernized and extended in several steps, traffic exceeding the infrastructure capacity and, thus, the decision to modernize this was taken. The maps that were necessary for tracing the possible route were the topographic map at 1: 25 000 scale and QuantumGIS Grass and ArcMap 10.1 software were used.
