An important mountain resort, Predeal is located of the Prahova Valley and is surrounded by five massifs: Postăvarul, Piatra Mare, Bucegi, Baiului and Fiţifoi. The name is derived from Romanian "pre deal" which means "on the hill". In the late years the town has known a remarkable boom in construction, with many well-off people from Bucharest having a mountain retreat in Predeal.
Predeal is the highest town in Romania, at 1033 m.
William of Wied, Prince of Albania died here in 1945.
