Sătic

Argeș County · Romania

Sătic is a mountain village in the commune of Rucăr, Argeș County, Muntenia, in the upper valley of the Dâmbovița, between the eastern ridges of the Iezer-Păpușa Mountains and the Piatra Craiului massif, at about 790 m. The 2021 census counted 144 inhabitants.

It began as a shepherds' hamlet — hence the name (“little village”); today it stretches for about 10 km along the valley. Locals distinguish three parts: Cojocaru, Săticul de Sus and Săticul de Jos. It is reached by the road from Câmpulung through Podu Dâmboviței.

On the site the trail “Cojocaru – Marele Grohotiș” to the Piatra Craiului ridge starts in Cojocaru, and “Plaiul Foii Hut – Cojocaru” arrives from the northern side of the massif.
