Popped up over a hill and there was a breathtaking view of a village

Guide Tudor and a random oldie. Photo was actually of high rock face

I laughed out loud at that which amused the people around me. Rock climbers tie rope to the ring.

View of the gorge we'd just walked plus the sheep and camp ground

The west side was forest and fields, steep

We'll do the 45 minute to the car park please

Hiking Turda Gorge

6. Oktober 2023 in Rumänien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

The canyon, formed through the erosion of the Jurassic limestone of the mountain, is 2 900 m long and the walls have heights reaching 300 m. The total surface of the canyon is 324 ha.
Cheile Turzii National Park contain one of the richest and most scenic landscapes in Romania. More than 1000 plant and animal species (some of them rare or endangered, like the wild garlic or some species of eagle) live here

The east side of the gorge is one of the top rock climbing spots in Romania.

Today we did the 9km walk, through the base of the east side and then up and over the west side. Steep in places.
In the forest were many types of mushroom and the pretty purple crocus' were en masse.Weiterlesen
