The Schiltal, or Valea Jiului in Romanian, is nestled in the Retezat Mountains, Hunedoara County, and was once the largest mining area in Romania.

From the middle of the 19th century, miners and experts from different parts of Europe and many different nationalities came here and have shaped the image of this region to this day. Of the 16 former coal mines, three are still in operation today. In winter, until spring, there are also many winter sports activities in this area around the towns of Petrosani and Lupeni.
