Fallen Rock Installation – Turda Gorge

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 …

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.

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.
