아푸세니 산맥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

Best to park on the national road and use the main hiking trail from there.

A beautiful trail begins with an incline and then leads level through a pristine jungle. The trail is clearly marked with a yellow cross. Fallen trees overgrown with moss and mushrooms, caves, eroded rocks, and woodpeckers – it truly is like an enchanted world!

The Vălul Miresei waterfall is a 30 m. two-tiered waterfall of particular beauty, being the most representative waterfall in the Apuseni Mountains. The waterfall is located at a distance of 6 km from Răchițele village and the road up to it is perfect for a bicycle ride without any challenges. If you are cycling in the area, you are not allowed to miss this attraction. 🚲♥️

Easy hike from the parking lot. About 1 km to walk. Beautiful waterfall which is fairly popular in the area. From the waterfall, there are many other hiking trails that continue to the top of the mountains.

I got the Scarisoara cave by hiking from Arieseni. That way is 9 km oneway and the whole round trek takes at around 7 hours. Through the way you can see traditional farms and mountain houses. Views to both valleys are marvellous.

The entry is made only with the guide, which presents only in Romanian. The entrance fee is 25 RON. Photographing is forbidden, except for one place at the end of the tour.

The Scărișoara Cave is located at about 1100 m above sea level in the Romanian Apuseni Mountains. The cave can be easily reached on foot in about half an hour from the small village of Ghetari. You can get to Ghetari via a narrow road from Gârda de Sus (about 10 km). The nearest train station is in the town of Câmpeni, about 40 kilometers away. The cave is part of the Apuseni Nature Park and its underground ice block is considered to be one of the largest in Europe (with a thickness of up to 26 meters). The ice has probably existed there for a very long time (glacial relic). Guided tours are also offered in this exciting cave complex with bizarre stalactites, impressive icicles and other partially illuminated ice formations in the deeper part of the cave. Highly recommended!

Use the hiking path from DN75 or directly from Vârtop which gives you nice scenic views.
