ルーマニアのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The Șurii de Piatră mountain stream plunges spectacularly 58 meters into the Seven Ladders Gorge (Canionul Șapte Scări) over seven steps carved into the Jurassic limestone. Visitors, who are literally within touching distance of the waterfalls, negotiate the stone steps, which are between two and a half and fifteen meters high, using steel ladders connected by metal mesh walkways. The most dramatic ladder is the third: it rises fifteen meters almost vertically and is secured with bars to prevent anyone from falling backward. But that's the only safety feature in the gorge. Right next to the left handrail, the water roars impetuously into the depths. An experience!

From the 2,527-meter-high Varful Vistea Mare, Varful Moldoveanu can be reached in about 30 minutes. Romania's third-highest mountain isn't nearly as crowded, as everyone keeps moving on. The view, however, is equally impressive.

Swimming is prohibited in mountain lakes in Romania. Nevertheless, it's a lovely place to linger before the final climb.

It's a dangerous area if it's not bone dry. Beware of slippery vertical terrain and wide water crossings – it's not for everyone. The Blue Triangle path is perilous.

Lovely place

Great spot to rest before the ascent to Vf Pietrosu.

The highest peak in Romania. There are different routes to get there. From Belea the route is long and somewhat strenuous. You can do the route in two days by spending the night in Podragu. You don't need any special equipment. Just good shoes and walking sticks. From the top the view in all directions is very good, weather permitting.

Inside the canyon, equip yourself with a heavier t-shirt or kway, and shoes with grip
