It is located in the southwestern part of the county, 8 km (5 mi) west of the city of Vatra Dornei and 116 km (72 mi) southwest of the county seat, Suceava. Dorna Candrenilor is traversed east to west by national road DN17 [ro] (part of European route E58), which starts in Suceava and ends in Dej. The village of Poiana Negrii is also part of the Via Transilvanica long-distance trail.[2]
