Middle Belt (Spirala Medie) via ferrata route - Baia de Fier - video
In May 2018, two new via ferrata routes were inaugurated in Baia de Fier. Both start from section G of the rock face hiding the Women's Cave (Pestera Muierilor), and their initial stages are shared. The Bear's Jump (Saritoarea Ursului) leads vertically upwards. The Middle Belt or Middle Spiral (Spirala Medie) connects the former to the Big Spiral (Spirala Mare, Spirala Muierii) via ferrata route.
