The Cave of Women (Pestera Muierii, Pestera Muierilor) is located at the southern foot of the Parang Mountains, in the area of Baia de Fier in Gorj County. There are several climbing routes established on the rocks above the cave and on the other side of the road. Since 2011, a few via ferrata routes have also been constructed here. These are relatively less known among the via ferrata climbers in Transylvania.

Natural bridge next to the Banita Stone Quarry (12 photos) 47.7 km away. Although the Banita Stone Bridge is not far from the road that passes through the village, it is located beyond the railway line, so its approach is a bit cumbersome. We can go around the railway line on Carierei Street, and then we have to walk a few meters from the stone quarry.
