Natural bridge next to the Banita Stone Quarry (12 photos) 27.7 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.
Banita Gorge - Banita (16 photos) 30.7 km away. The approximately 250 m long gorge, similar to the Corcoaia Gorge, is truly spectacular. According to assumptions, it was formed by the collapse of a cave passage ceiling, and then the erosion formed spectacular karst formations in the limestone.
Boli Cave - Banita (20 photos) 31 km away. The main cave passage is approximately 460 m long, with an entrance portal that is 10 m high and 20 m wide at its base. In the 1960s, bridges were built over the underground stream flowing through the cave.
