It's said that in the Bucegi Mountains there's a one square kilometre area where any living beings won't ever feel tired and their physical and chemical functions are reset to their normal state. Specialists claim that this area links the sky and the Earth.

Back in 1999, a private research institute from Bucharest found something that resembles the legendary "Gura de Rai" (Mouth of Heaven). This is presumed to be a one square kilometre slope that shows a very strange magnetic abnormality, as it's defined by experts. This area has stunning effects on the human body and it's probably the strangest discovery in Romania.

In popular Romanian tradition, the “Gura de Rai” is a sacred place, a road to Heaven that's situated near a mountain and opens up in a large field or a mountain area. The private research institute Terra, hired in 1999 to research this myth, discovered that an area near the Ialomicioara Cave had strange effects on the human body.

They started off with a research meant to find out if hotels could be built in the area and the project included physicists, geophysicists mostly, while the tools used were geodetection devices. After a couple of days of walking up and down the area, geophysicist Dumitru Stanica, a member of the crew discovered that somewhere around the Doamnei Height his tiredness disappeared immediately. All the other researchers tested this feeling and theory and found it to be true.

The first stage of investigation involved the analysis of all the surrounding slopes and the researchers found out that no matter how tired you were when you started walking, it'll all go away, as soon as you reach the “Gura de Rai” area. Dumitru Stanica claims that all the physical and chemical functions of the body are rapidly restored.
