Tureni Gorge iron path visiting route (Via ferrata Cheile Tureni) - Trascau Mountains - photos

Hili cove iron path - Turda Gorge 5.42 km away
While the first time I climbed this via ferrata in the morning, now I climbed it in the light of the setting sun. The red-dressed rocks created a special atmosphere, and I could admire the sunset from the top of the climbing route.

The Ramet Gorge is the wildest canyon in the Trascau Mountains. Where the valley of the Ramet (Goagiu) Creek is now, there once was an extensive cave system.

Roman Baths (Baile Romane) - Cetea, Trascau Mountains 41.73 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.

Fairy Cliff (Peretele Zanelor) via ferrata route Vadu Crisului 99.25 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.

Small Via ferrata Rasnoavei Gorge 182.96 km away
In the past few days, it has snowed, so I climbed the two climbing routes in the Rasnoavei Gorge under winter conditions. While the lower part of the challenging Big via ferrata was dry, the upper section had patches of snow and icicles.

Muierii Cave (Pestera Muierilor) Baia de Fier 157.63 km away
We visited the Baia de Fier area, and climbed on the rock that also conceals the Women's Cave (Pestera Muierilor). Between two via ferrata routes, we also participated in one of the guided cave tours, which depart every hour.

Rudariei watermills Eftimie Murgu 230.3 km away
I have visited the twenty-two wooden water mills with horizontal wheels, located in the valley of the Rudaria stream, mostly in the rain and under an umbrella. Some of them are still in use today.

Snow-covered valley of Balea and the Transfagarasan in winter The ascent 128.47 km away
The Fagarasi Mountains can be easily approached from the north, mainly by using the Transfagarasan Road. This high altitude mountain road is only accessible during the summer months (throughout its entire length), but from the Balea Waterfall station (Statia Balea Cascada) you can also reach the Balea Lake by cable car.
