Feleacu Massif, also called Feleacului Hills, is a threshold between the Apuseni Mountains and the Transylvanian Depression. To the north it is bordered by the Hills of Cluj and Dej through Somesul Mic River; to the east by the Transylvanian Plain through Zapodie Valley, Martinesti Valley and Racilor Valley; to the south and west by Hasdate Valley and Fenes Valley (Vlaha - Hasdate Depression was formed along these valleys).
Feleacu Massif is a mass of crystalline schists well hidden by Miocene - Oligocene sedimentary formations. The Sarmatian sands and clays dominate the massif, in which the Feleac sandstone concretions were formed by diagenesis. Crystalline shales appear to the surface only on the highest peaks of the massif.
The highest peaks in the massif are: Peana Peak 832 m, Magura Peak 824 m, Recea Peak 759 m and Dealul Feleacului 744 m. In terms of tourism, Feleacu Massif is an important place for walking and cycling for the inhabitants of Cluj-Napoca. The most important places to visit are: Faget Forest (Bükk) with many paths and springs, Cetatea Fetei area with a fortress ruin, Magura Peak with a viewpoint of the Apuseni Mountains, Caprioara Valley (unmarked) with many concretions along the riverbed, and the nature reserves.
