Omu Peak (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Vârful Omu) is a mountain peak of the Bucegi Mountains in Romania. It is located in Brașov, Dâmbovița and Prahova counties.
The top of Omu Peak is flat and sprawling. It houses a weather station and a tourist shelter (Romanian cabana) Omu (2505 m above sea level),[1] which is the highest mountain shelter in the entire Carpathians. The first wooden shelter was built in 1888 on the initiative of the Transylvanian Carpathian Society. Rebuilt many times, it now stands as a stone and wooden building, which offers 30 beds and a buffet. The hostel does not have electricity and running water. It is open from March to November.[2]
