The Godeanu - Tarcu - Muntele Mic Mountains are a mountain range in the Southern Carpathians, bordered to the north by the Bistra - Strei Corridor; to the east by the Retezat Mountains through Raul Mare Valley, Gura Apei Reservoir, Lapusnicul Mare Valley, Paltina Saddle, the Valcan Mountains through the Jiu-Cerna Pass; to the southeast by the Valcan Mountains and the Mehedinți Mountains through Cernisoara Valley, Cerna Reservoir and Cerna Valley; to the south by the Cerna Mountains through Olanu Valley, Olanelor Saddle and Hideg Valley (Rece); and to the west by the Caransebes Depression.

From a geological point of view, the Godeanu - Tarcu - Muntele Mic Mountains are formed of hard rocks (crystalline rocks and granites) with a rugged landscape, crossed by valleys with steep slopes, sometimes forming spectacular gorges where limestone is also present. The highest peaks in the massif are Gugu Peak 2,291 m, Godeanu Peak 2,229 m, Tarcu Peak 2,190 m, and Muntele Mic Peak 1,802 m.

The peneplains present across the Carpathian Mountains and identified by the French geographer Emmanuel de Martonne: Borascu and Rau Ses, are also present in the Godeanu Mountains. Poiana Marului and Muntele Mic resorts are of greater tourist importance.

The map of Macin Mountains (MN25) is the 25th map of the new Muntii Nostri collection.

The map was edited using the latest mapping techniques and it was printed on moisture resistant paper. It is easy to read and simple to use due to the mapping styles, specific to Schubert & Franzke company, and as a result of practical information structuring. It is handy and everything is exactly where it should be. The map is useful for both hiking enthusiasts and professionals.

All the trails have been recorded in the field using a GPS. They are described in detail in both Romanian and English, some trails having representative images attached to them. Each trail has a technical box containing: trail marking checked in the field, trail route, profile with major landmarks, data on difficulty, length, total ascent, total descent, round-trip time, practicability depending on the season and so on. The map also contains the UTM grid, a projected coordinate metric system useful in the quick measurement of distances on the map. Shading and contour lines highlight the landscape and facilitate orientation.

The application created for iOS and Android will dissipate the nostalgic aura of the map, giving the product the technical complexity required for this century.

Enjoy this map up on the sunny peaks of Macin Mountains, scrutinizing the horizon for the remnants of ancient civilisations.
