クルージュの峡谷・トップ8

Another wobbly suspension bridge over the Hășdate, at a point called "Middle Key". We now continue upstream on the right bank. The limestone walls all around are at their highest here.

Rockfall is an ever-present danger in the Turzii Gorge. This somewhat macabre installation points out the risk more forcefully than any warning sign. It's a shame that one of the hikers who was "killed" by a boulder is already broken, which somewhat diminishes the illusion.

These small caves are located right next to the river and you can climb through them with a little skill. The locals have called them "The Washed-Out Hideout".

The second crossing of the Hășdate on the hiking trail is the bridge "At the washed-out hiding place". The suspension bridge swings noticeably, especially when several people are walking on it at the same time. From the bridge you can see the caves on the left bank of the river, which gave it its name.

The first bridge over the Hășdate in the gorge is the largest and most stable. It is called the "Gate of Keys". There are three more bridges further upstream. These are much more wobbly, but still safe to cross. The Hășdate has dug itself into the landscape over a length of 31 kilometers when the Jurassic limestone terrain slowly rose over millions of years. The actual gorge is 1300 meters long, framed by steep walls up to 200 meters high.

You get nice views on top of the river and this location is beautiful. Worth seeing it!

Amazing gorge with many hiking trails, perfect for a weekend. Circuits are 2 hours long on each hill followed by some steep hikes. There is no need to hike a hill, it’s easy to walk through the gorge as there is no elevation gain. There are many activities here. You can ride a long zip line here, do a via ferrata, hike, camp, have a rest and look at the astounding views.

Excellent! It doesn't take long to walk around the keys, only if you want to do a circuit then it takes a long time.
