Waterfalls of Lapos creek - Bicaz Gorges 15.83 km away

From the viewpoint at the top of the northeastern wall of Poienii Rock in the Bicaz Gorges, we can look down 300 meters to the mouth of the Bicajel stream. The Bridge of the Hungarians is hidden among pine trees. The road winds through Hell's Mouth, between Bardos Mountain and Surducul Stone.

SkiGyimes ski slope Lunca de Sus 27.98 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.

Oltet Gorges Capatanii Mountains 222.17 km away
That day, we had planned to ski at the Ranca resort, situated alongside the Transalpina road in the Parang Mountains. Unfortunately, the minimal snowfall made skiing unfeasible, so we had to find an alternative activity on our way home.

The Saeva Dupka Cave is located 2 km south of the village of Brestnitsa. In its five chambers and 400 meters of passageways, you can see the most beautiful cave formations in Bulgaria. It is developed and illuminated for tourists.

Skaklya waterfall Vratsa 425.5 km away
The largest seasonal waterfall in Bulgaria plunges down from a height of 141 meters. It is located in the Vratsa Mountain National Park, just one and a half kilometers away from the city of Vratsa. The waterfall can be accessed via a well-marked trail and is most stunning after snowmelt or rainfall. Climbing to the top of the waterfall offers a breathtaking view of the city.

Via ferrata Rio Sallagoni Italia 1134.28 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.

Via ferrata Tatabánya 559.53 km away
I climbed Kata! Who is Kata? Kata is a very talented, beautiful, but mainly extreme lady from Tatabánya. More specifically, she is Hungary's most difficult via ferrata climbing route. :-)

Sky Walk, Suspension Bridge, Stairway to Nothingness Dachstein 916.87 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.

Small Via ferrata Rasnoavei Gorges 128.56 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.

Hias Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 909.94 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.

Varghis gorges in winter 54.29 km away
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).

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.
