Peles (river)

The Peles is a small river located in Romania, within the Carpathian Mountains. It is a tributary of the Râul Doamnei (Woman's River), which in turn feeds into the Argeș River. The Peles is primarily known for its picturesque setting and proximity to Peleș Castle, one of Romania's most significant historical landmarks. The river flows through a heavily forested area, contributing to the overall scenic beauty of the region. While relatively short in length and not navigable, the Peles plays a role in the local ecosystem and provides a source of freshwater. Its course is characterized by a generally steep gradient, typical of mountain streams. The area surrounding the Peles is a popular destination for hiking and tourism due to its natural beauty and historical significance.
