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.

SkiGyimes ski slope - Lunca de Sus 56.92 km away
It is well-known that in Rimetea, due to the Piatra Secuiului (Szekler's Rock) mountain, the Sun rises twice. However, perhaps few know that in Lunca de Sus, the Sun sets three times. :-) This can be experienced on the Ski Gyimes slopes during the afternoon skiing.

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.

Banita Gorges and Banita rock bridge 268.53 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.
