Corcoaia Gorges - Gorj county - video
The Corcoaia Gorge is one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in the Cerna Valley. It can be reached by car, 43 km away from Baile Herculane, of which about 17 km is on a dusty gravel road. The spectacular part of the gorge is relatively short, about 300 m.
Here we can observe very interesting dissolution forms, on the sides of the sometimes hundred-meter-high cliffs. According to a local legend, a hero named Iovan Iorgovan split the mountain in half with his sword here, when he was trying to kill the dragon hiding here.

Sheepdogs - Govora sheepfold - Retezat mountains 37.23 km away
On the second day of my weekend Retezat hike, I visited a sheepfold on the Lancita Ridge. To my great disappointment, they didn't make cheese or curd here. The owners sell the more special types of sheep and rams in the autumn.

Rudariei watermills - Eftimie Murgu 55.16 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. In 1874, there were still fifty such water mills operating in the village.

Banita Gorges and Banita rock bridge 59.82 km away
They say about this place that only very few people know about it, but that's not true. In fact, most nature lovers have heard of it, seen pictures taken here, even if not everyone has been able to come here. Since it has been talked about everywhere, and it has been advertised, I have also been planning to come here for years.

Little Spiral iron path Baia de Fier 83.42 km away
Hili cove iron path Turda Gorges 176.54 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. Although I prefer the sunrise more, because it lasts longer. :-)

Waterfalls of Lapos creek Bicaz Gorges 304.87 km away
One of the lesser-known attractions of the Bicaz Gorges is the series of waterfalls along Lapos Creek. This creek flows between Cupas Stone and Bardos Stone before eventually merging with Bicaz Creek, forming spectacular waterfalls beneath the Altar Stone.

I went out to admire the ice stalagmites (standing icicles) in the Varghis Gorge. Anyone arriving here at the end of winter can observe meter-high ice stalagmites in the entrance area of Meresti Cave (now known as Orban Balazs Cave).

Siega Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 736.02 km away
The Siega Klettersteig, categorized as a C/D level of difficulty, is perhaps the least interesting of the three via ferratas in the Silberkarklamm gorge. This doesn't mean that it's not good, just that the other two are even better. :-)
