Palma Pass (DJ175A), also known as Ciumârna Pass, sits at an altitude of 1109 meters and connects Câmpulung Moldovenesc to Sucevița in the heart of Bucovina. The road crosses the Obcina range of Bucovina, offering a direct and picturesque route to the famous Sucevița Monastery and the other painted monasteries in the area. It is a road of quiet beauty, far removed from the bustle of the main tourist routes.

The landscape along Palma Pass is dominated by dense spruce and fir forests, mountain meadows, and authentic Bucovinian villages with traditional houses and well-kept homesteads. During the ascent, travelers can enjoy wide panoramic views over the Moldavia valleys and the Obcina ridgelines. Near the highest point, the road passes through alpine meadow zones with distinctive vegetation, providing a pleasing contrast to the dense forests below.

Palma Pass is open year-round, though winter driving can be more challenging as it is a county road with variable maintenance. The route is particularly appreciated by cyclists and motorcyclists seeking quiet roads with little traffic. The area’s tourist appeal is driven primarily by the painted monasteries of Bucovina, and Palma Pass represents the most beautiful way to reach Sucevița Monastery.
