Prislop Pass (DN18), situated at an altitude of 1416 meters, is one of the most important mountain passes in northern Romania, connecting the regions of Maramureș and Bucovina. The road traverses a particularly beautiful mountain area on the border between the Rodna and Suhard mountain ranges. The history of this route stretches back centuries, having long served as a trade and transhumance path between the two regions.

From the summit, wide panoramas open up across the forested ridges of the Eastern Carpathians. At the highest point stands a memorial dedicated to partisans from the Second World War, along with a mountain cabin where travelers can stop for refreshments. The descent toward Borșa offers spectacular views over the Vișeu Valley, while the road toward Cârlibaba winds through dense spruce forests.

Prislop Pass is open year-round and maintained during winter, though difficult driving conditions due to snow and ice can occur in colder months. The area is popular among cyclists during summer, and every August, the traditional “Hora de la Prislop” festival takes place near the pass summit, making it one of the largest folklore events in the Maramureș region.
