They form the continuation of the Western Carpathians and include the area from the town of Bardejov (Slovakia) to the Predeal Pass (Romania). In Poland , the Lower Beskids , the Sanok-Turka Mountains with the Saana Mountains and the Bieszczady belong to the Eastern Carpathians. Bigger cities here are Przemyśl , Krosno and Sanok as well as the (winter) sports resorts Polańczyk , Ustrzyki Dolne and Ustrzyki Górne .

The northern border of the Eastern Carpathians is the Prislop Pass (1416 m; on the eastern border of the Maramureș region between the Maramures Mountains and the Rodna Mountains ) in Romania. The southern border is drawn at the Predeal Pass . Larger cities in the region are Piatra Neamț and Bacău . The Eastern Carpathians are not yet open to tourism .

The Eastern Carpathians are characterized by many long valleys and accordingly divided into a large number of mountain ranges. Their designation, delimitation and further subdivision is not uniform and is determined not only by topographical but also by geological and touristic aspects.
