Women's Spiral (Spirala Muierilor) via ferrata, climbing fun - Baia de Fier - video
The Women's Spiral (Spirala Muierilor) via ferrata is set up on the rock that conceals the Women's Cave (Pestera Muierii). It is one of the seven routes near Baia de Fier as of now (2018). As I write these lines, I have learned about two more routes that are set to open. With the establishment of the nearby Dragon's Amphitheater (Amfiteatrul Dragonilor) route, the Women's Spiral has dropped to third place in the (subjective) list of the most interesting via ferrata routes in Romania.
