Prohodna cave (The Eyes of God) Karlukovo
The cave nicknamed The Eyes of God is located in Bulgaria, in the Iskar Gorge, on one of the largest karst areas in Bulgaria, 2 km from the town of Karlukovo. It is essentially a 262-meter-long natural stone bridge, with a large (45 m high) and a small (35 m high) entrance.

Handeckfallbrücke, Gelmerbahn, Gelmersee Schweiz
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.

Wild Ferenc iron path Suhardul Mic
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.

Banita Gorges and Banita rock bridge
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.

Bolii Cave Banita
The Bolii Cave is located 6 km north of Petrosani, on the road that connects Hateg with the Jiu Valley. Here, the railway line that connects the two parts of Hunedoara County passes through, featuring a total of 66 curves and 8 tunnels.

Womens Spiral, Cave Ridge, and The Great Crack iron paths Baia de Fier
Perhaps the most interesting via ferrata among the routes in the Baia de Fier area is the Womens Spiral. After completing it, I can say that it is the second most thrilling via ferrata in Romania, following the Big Via Ferrata at Rasnov.

Crivadia Gorges
The Crivadia Gorge is located next to the village of Crivadia, which belongs to Banita. Access is difficult, and the hike is made through the streambed, with water up to the waist at its narrowest point.
