The first bridge over the Hășdate in the gorge is the largest and most stable. It is called the "Gate of Keys". There are three more bridges further upstream. These …

These small caves are located right next to the river and you can climb through them with a little skill. The locals have called them "The Washed-Out Hideout".

Rockfall is an ever-present danger in the Turzii Gorge. This somewhat macabre installation points out the risk more forcefully than any warning sign. It's a shame that one of the …

Another wobbly suspension bridge over the Hășdate, at a point called "Middle Key". We now continue upstream on the right bank. The limestone walls all around are at their highest here.

June 25, 2024,Circuitul Cheile Turzii 2 (Dealul Sândului)
Very very steep! Better not do it if you have some muscle fever. You must have good strength to do this hike. It doesn't feel like 2 hours, but more. If you get tired easily, please take breaks because this is normal. Dealul Sândului offers many viewpoints and is a wonderful route. It takes less than an hour to cross …

A very nice tour. Sure-footedness required. Unfortunately it was very foggy the whole time. View = zero.

Showing Translation

A beautiful tour through the gorge, followed by a challenging ascent to the plateau above, with magnificent views. The subsequent descent is no less challenging. Recommended only in dry weather and with appropriate footwear.
