Fairy Cliff (Peretele Zanelor) via ferrata route - Vadu Crisului 65.02 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 (2015) 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.

Via Ferrata Fairy Castle (Castelul Zanelor, Casa Zmeului, The House of the Dragon) - Vadu Crisului 65.08 km away
South of Vadu Crisului, in the Padurea Craiului Mountains, lies the Vadu Crisului Gorge, a section of the Crisul Repede river that narrows between rocky walls.

The Vadu Crisului Cave, with a total length of over 1000 meters, is located in the picturesque gorge of Crisul Repede creek. It consists of a gently meandering, long passage that features an active, stream level next to an upper, fossil level in its first section.

Hili cove iron path - Turda Gorges 75.96 km away
While the first time I climbed this via ferrata in the morning, now I climbed it in the light of the setting sun. The red-dressed rocks created a special atmosphere, and I could admire the sunset from the top of the climbing route.

Grande Fistoire iron path Le Caire, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence 1369.56 km away
Because I lost the footage I made the first time (don't buy SD cards from Alibaba!), at the end of June I visited this great and exciting via ferrata again.

The Rosina via ferrata is the most difficult via ferrata in the Silberkar Gorge (Silberkarklamm), has a D difficulty rating, and it is a vertical masterpiece. After a short suspension bridge above the stream, it leads up the rock wall next to the gorge waterfall, all the way vertically.

Via ferrata Rio Sallagoni Drena, Italia 954.17 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.

On the second day of my weekend Retezat hike, I visited a sheepfold on the Lancita Ridge. To my great disappointment, they didn't make cheese or curd here.
