Waterfalls of Velnita stone-quarry - Targu Ocna - video
Starting from the Velnita quarry, an adventurous nature enthusiast, accustomed to wild and rugged terrains, will discover a true waterfall paradise. At the upper part of the quarry, two streams converge.
In one valley, I found four waterfalls (The waterfall from the quarry, Green waterfall, Water-jet waterfall, Run down waterfall). In the other, there are nine larger waterfalls (Fan waterfall, Side waterfall, Double-decked waterfall, Waterfall with stairs, Hammock waterfall, Terrrace waterfall, The waterfall behind the arch, Brown waterfall, Ceiling waterfall), and countless smaller cascades.
Between the Waterfall behind the arch and the Brown waterfall, there is an interesting, suspended, cube-shaped rock, that resembles the Kjerag rock in Norway.

Preacher's Rock - Bodoc Mountains 59.13 km away
In the Bodoc Mountains, west-southwest from the Henter peak, we find a rock formation shaped like a mushroom by erosion, called Preacher's Rock. This 2-meter high rock probably got its name from the pagan Hungarian priests, who preached here in the past.

Wild Ferenc iron path Suhardul Mic 86.07 km away
While I climbed the new iron path mostly in the dark for the first time, this time I managed to explore it during the day. But I still missed the sunset by a few minutes.

With snowshoes in the Tihu creek valley Rastolita 146.54 km away
We met geotrekking treasure hunters from Gheorgheni, Miercurea Ciuc and Targu Mures in Rastolita. We entered the Calimani Mountains with an off-road vehicle, along the Rastolita and Tihu streams. As it turned out, the well-worn forest road can also be traveled by car for a good distance.

Sky Walk, Suspension Bridge, Stairway to Nothingness Dachstein 993.47 km away
The Dachstein cable car took me up to a height of 2700 meters, to the highest mountain in Styria, the Dachstein. A fabulous natural environment unfolded before me, with panoramic views of the Austrian peaks. It is said that Slovenia and the Czech Republic can also be seen from here.

Iron path Harghita-Madaras 81.65 km away
Amateur filming in Harghita-Madaras, holding the camera by hand in the car, and helmet-mounted on the via ferrata. I climbed an iron path for the first time in my life on the Nyerges cliffs (Stancile Seii), I didn't have the right equipment yet. That's where I fell in love with climbing.

Fairy Cliff iron path Vadu Crisului 321 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 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.

Siega Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 986.91 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. :-)

Handeckfallbrücke, Gelmerbahn, Gelmersee Schweiz 1397.04 km away
Although the path from the Gelmerbahn parking bypasses the Handeckfall waterfall, it is worth descending a few steps from the valley station of the funicular, to reach Handeckfallbrücke. A 70-meter long suspension bridge that hangs 70 meters above the gorge, offering a spectacular view of the waterfall.

Hias Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 986.42 km away
The Hias Klettersteig in the Silberkarklamm gorge is the first of the three via ferrata routes, and perhaps the easiest to complete. Two cable bridges and a few trickier sections make it interesting, but it is truly impressive due to the view of the narrow gorge.
