Banita Gorges and Banita rock bridge 141.29 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.

Black Rocks iron path Bihor Mountains 201.51 km away
