Falco Tinnunculus (Common kestrel) via ferrata (E), the ascent - Falcon's Rock, Corbu 11.34 km away
Over Corbu village in Harghita County, on the rocks of Falcon's Rock (Piatra Soimilor), which belong to the Bistrita Mountains, five via ferrata routes have been established. In November 2019, the first three routes of the Falcon's Rock via ferrata were complemented with two additional ones, featuring a roughly 15-meter hanging bridge and a 15-meter-high iron ladder.

Roman Baths (Baile Romane) Cetea, Trascau Mountains 173.52 km away
Among the valleys of the Trascau Mountains, the Cetea Gorge best deserves the name of a crevice valley. Here, the waters of the Cetea Stream cut through the Mariuta limestone cliff, flowing through a narrow crevice that is only about 1-2 meters wide.

Oltet Gorge (Cheile Oltetului) Capatana Mountains 240.12 km away
That day, we had planned to ski at the Ranca resort, situated alongside the Transalpina high altitude mountain road in the Parang Mountains. Unfortunately, the very small snowfall made skiing unfeasible, so we had to find an alternative activity on our way home.

Loreley and Pink Panther iron path Baia de Fier 242.21 km away
The Loreley via ferrata (graded B/C, with an elevation difference of approximately 100 m and a length of about 100 m) is located on the rock wall on the opposite side of the road. A branch from its upper section leads to the Pink Panther (Pantera Roz, graded A/B/C, approximately 200 meters long, with an elevation difference of about 50 meters).

Fairy Cliff (Peretele Zanelor) via ferrata route Vadu Crisului 231.44 km away
In Vadu Crisului, in the Padurea Craiului Mountains, on the right bank of the Crisul Repede, you can find the newest, in chronological order (2015) the fifth Transylvanian, new type of via ferrata route. I will not count here the traditional iron paths, the high-mountain hiking trails, partly secured with iron cables, or the rock canyons with iron ladders and footbridges.
