Zarnesti Gorges

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A beautiful gorge that's easily accessible to anyone. The landscape is very beautiful and it's a great place to do an easy hike. You can continue the route and do a longer hike if you are interested to see even more beautiful scenery.

Climbing is also possible on the walls of the gorge, with equipment and everything necessary provided by a small hut.

You can reach the starting point by car, but note that there's no "official" parking place, and it might get very crowded during the peak season. Once you reach the start of the gorge, there are no cars and you can enjoy nature.
