Predeal Pass ( Romanian: Pasul Predeal, Hungarian: Tömösi-szoros) is a mountain pass (elevation 1,033 m (3,389 ft)) in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. It connects the Prahova River valley to the south with the lowlands around Brașov to the north. It separates the Southern Carpathians ( Bucegi Mountains) from the Eastern Carpathians ( Piatra Mare Mountains). It is an important passage for traffic between southern Romania (including the capital Bucharest) and central Romania (eastern Transylvania), crossed by National Road 1 and the Bucharest—Brașov railway. The town Predeal is situated near the pass.
