The Heroes' Cross is a monument built between 1926 and 1928 on Caraiman Peak at an altitude of 2,291 m located in Romania, in the Bucegi Mountains of the Southern Carpathians. It has a height of 36 metres (118 ft) and the nearest town is Buşteni.

Close to Caraiman peak lies the Heroes' Cross, a memorial of World War I. It was initiated by Queen Mary of Romania. The material needed for construction was carried up using a funicular, as well as carts carried by oxen.

The cross is lit at night using 300 500 W bulbs. Until 1939, the lighting installation was powered by an electric generator located inside the base of the monument and was made up of only 120 bulbs. In 1939, it was connected to the national electrical network.

The Sphinx is a rock formation in the Bucegi Mountains (South East Romania), in the Carpathians. It lies on a mountain plateau at a hight of 2,216 meters. From a purely scientific point of view we are talking about a 12 meters high megalith that was shaped by the wind into a human head.
The oldest photograph of the megalith dates from 1900. The name of the Sphinx dates from the year 1935 when a publication of the time decided to call it this way.
Daniel Ruzo, a peruvian explorer, launched a theory in 1968. He claimed he had found a link between this Sphinx of Romania, the Dacian people (ancient civilisation that lived here before the roman invasion) and the Markawasi civilisation. He said that he had found some similarities between the Sphinx in Bucegi Mountains and other rock formation in the Andes.
