Hodoaba Valley iron path - Suncuius - videoPlay
The Hodoaba Valley iron path is Romania's shortest and easiest (official) via ferrata route. It is located near Suncuius, in the Padurea Craiului Mountains, on the left bank of the Crisul Repede River.

Accessing the route starts from the entrance of the Ungurul Mare Cave, proceeding upstream along the riverbank. Since it is necessary to cross a closed suspension bridge, permission must be obtained from the cave guide at the Zenovia Chalet.

The iron path is 42 meters long, with an elevation difference of 5 meters. In my subjective opinion, it has a difficulty grade of B (easy). The cable sections can be somewhat loose in certain areas. The route runs directly above the waters of the Crisul Repede, and the riverbank may be slippery, so it's advisable to use via ferrata equipment here as well.

Although it's not indicated, due to its location and short length, the route can be climbed back and forth. If someone is entirely new to via ferrata routes, it is advisable to start with this route, and then continue on the Fairy Cliff iron path at Vadu Crisului.

I climbed with my cave and mountain rescuer friends, who were on duty nearby. The next day, I tried some sport climbing on the Zenovia rock. It was an experience! :-)
