Varghis gorges in winter - videoPlay
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).

This time, I arrived too early, or rather, at the wrong moment. The icicles had not yet grown tall, and most of them were lying broken on the ground. :-( The gorge is deserted at this time, creating a completely different atmosphere than during the summer.

Following today's climb, I experienced the soothing pleasure of immersing myself in the turquoise waters of the Méouge creek, in the pond beneath a waterfall.
