Big Via ferrata Rasnoavei Gorges 12.68 km away
The most dangerous Eastern European iron path, and also one of the most beautiful via ferrata routes in Romania, is in the Rasnoavei Gorges, Postavaru Mountains.

Small Via ferrata - Rasnoavei Gorges 12.7 km away
In the past few days, it has snowed, so I climbed the two climbing routes in the Rasnoavei Gorge under winter conditions. While the lower part of the challenging Big via ferrata was dry, the upper section had patches of snow and icicles.

Dino Parc Rasnov 16.21 km away
On June 12, 2015, one of the largest dinosaur theme parks in the region opened in Rasnov, where we can see 45 life-sized dinosaurs. The facility is located directly next to the Rasnov Fortress, which is one of the best-preserved Transylvanian Saxon peasant fortresses.

Ski resort - Poiana Brasov - Postavarul Mountains 16.68 km away
Shining sun and an Austria-feeling on the impeccable slopes of the ski paradise Poiana Brasov above Brasov. Sunbathing, coffee and refreshing drinks on the terrace of Julius Römer chalet.

Seven Ladder Canyon and Waterfall - Piatra Mare Mountain 21.08 km away
The Seven Ladder Gorge is the largest and most spectacular gorge in the Piatra Mare massif. The narrow canyon has a length of 160 meters, and over a drop of 58 meters includes 7 bigger and several smaller waterfalls. The gorge can be explored on metal stairs and platforms.

Via ferrata Rio Sallagoni Italia 1125.7 km away
The surrounding iron climbing routes are located on rock walls exposed to a scorching sun. But the Rio Sallagoni via ferrata goes upwards in a pleasantly cool gorge, above the creek and waterfalls, and eventually reaches the Drena Castle.

Spirala Medie iron path Baia de Fier 134.27 km away
In May 2018, two new via ferrata routes were inaugurated in Baia de Fier. Both start from section G of the rock face hiding the Muierilor Cave, and their initial stages are shared. The Bear's Jump (in Romanian, Saritoarea Ursului) leads vertically upwards. The Middle Belt or Middle Spiral (in Romanian, Spirala Medie) connects the former to the Big Spiral via ferrata route.

Aareschlucht Meiringen-Innertkirchen, Switzerland 1332.59 km away
The Aareschlucht is a 1400-meter long, 200-meter deep gorge of the Aare river, near Innertkirchen, Switzerland. It has two entrances, one from Meiringen in the west, and one from Innertkirchen in the east, which lead into the narrow, but stunning gorge.

Walking to the top of Sumuleul Mare Sumuleu Ciuc 107.19 km away
This was my first attempt at shooting a video.

Echernwand Klettersteig Hallstatt, Austria 931.36 km away
I climbed the via ferrata on the Echernwand rock wall at dusk. This route is located above one of Austria's most beautiful lakes, and above Hallstatt. The iron climbing route was quite challenging at times, with the most exciting section being the Roll-dachl, an exposed rock formation, shaped like a nose.

Nobody's lake Miercurea Ciuc 103.77 km away
The passage of time (time lapse), dusk at Nobody's Lake. Miercurea Ciuc and the Sumuleu mountain can be seen in the background.

Iron path in winter Harghita Madaras 112.57 km away
This is already the sixth time I've climbed the via ferrata route set up on the rocky cliffs of Seii Peak near Harghita Madaras. Although the forecast suggests that the weather should be nice, I am greeted by a sky covered in clouds.

With snowshoes in the Tihu creek valley Rastolita 184.78 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.

Loreley and Pink Panther iron path Baia de Fier 134.09 km away
The Loreley via ferrata (graded B/C, with an elevation difference of approximately 100 m and a length of about 100 m) is located on the rock wall on the opposite side of the road. A branch from its upper section leads to the Pink Panther (Pantera Roz, graded A/B/C, approximately 200 meters long, with an elevation difference of about 50 meters).

Black Rocks iron path Bihor Mountains 246.94 km away
Black Rocks is located in the Bihor Mountains, near the Vartop Saddle, to the west of it. It is interesting that the locals (if I understood correctly) do not know this name, but use the name Piatra Buna (meaning Good Stone) for this spectacular rock.

Hodoaba Valley iron path Suncuius 276.65 km away
The Hodoaba Valley iron path is Romania's shortest and easiest (official) via ferrata route. It is located near Suncuius, in the Padurea Craiului Mountains, on the left bank of the Crisul Repede River.

Hias Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 923.63 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.

Preacher's Rock Bodoc Mountains 72.54 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.

Astragalus iron path in winter Glod Stone, Munticelu 156.61 km away
The official website of the Sugau Gorges published information about a new via ferrata climbing route named Astragalus. Sugau Gorges - Munticelu is a nature conservation area part of Natura 2000 located in Neamt County, which borders Harghita County.

Stan Valley Canyon in winter 65.53 km away
The Stan Valley is a picturesque canyon, even in winter. In fact, when the stream is frozen and covered with a layer of snow, exploring the canyon becomes much quicker and easier. During this time, we can also access areas that were unreachable in the summer, due to high water levels.
