High point in the direction of Romania’s capital (3)
I believe the answer is:
tor
'high point' is the definition.
(a tor is a rocky hill)
'in the direction of romania's capital' is the wordplay.
'in the direction of' becomes 'to'.
'capital' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'romania' is 'r'.
'to'+'r'='TOR'
(Other definitions for tor that I've seen before include "Rising" , "Rot on a peak in Devon" , "Rocky outcrop" , "Rocky crag" , "eminence" .)
