About
In the northern part of the city rises the Cozla hill, with altitudes of 657m at the point called "Trei Coline" and 679m at the point "Trei Caldări" (close to the village of Gârcina). Mount Cozla has the shape of an elongated peak from north to south and is made up of layers of different marls, clay shale, layers rich in fish fossils and algae, also represented at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Piatra Neamț.
From the point called "Trei Coline" start tourist routes that lead to Dărmănești, to Cârloman or to the area of stone marmites called "La Trei Caldări" by the locals. It is good to know that this route is approved and is very accessible to the general public. You will find here, in an isolated rock, three round hollows with a diameter of approx. 60cm, whose origin has not met the consensus, considering that we are either facing a karst phenomenon, or periglacial, or with the character of aeolian marmites formed by the long action of the winds.
On the Cozla hill, springs of chloride-sodium and sulphurous mineral waters were discovered in 1882, characterized by the analyzes made at the time by Petru Poni, and which were used in the treatment of digestive and circulatory ailments. Over time, irrational exploitation led to their clogging.
The viewpoint on the Cozla hill plateau is one of the most impressive. You will be able to admire the whole city, the valley of Bistrița, but also the imposing Ceahlău Massif. On foot or by gondola, this place is not to be missed! Remember that the view is even more impressive at sunset.
