Hiking or Via Ferrata Lesson in Turda Gorges

Radu With: Radu 8
Turda Gorges are an impressive natural reserve where the air is so clean you won't believe it - so let's go for a hike to the top! It's also known as the 'Mecca' for mountain climbers: besides dramatic natural landscapes, there is a via ferrata hiking route good for people who've never done this before but are fit and looking for an adventurous trip and to learn rock climbing. Let's go!


Moments to expect in the Turda Gorge hiking tour:

    If you're looking for real mountain adventure in Romania - this is it! You will climb on steep karst ridges (heights of 200-350m) while hanging onto iron cables to explore the beautiful Turda Gorge Natural Reserve. Sometimes you will even climb vertically! We will pass through a cave and finally reach the top of the Gorge. The route is safe and you will have the support of a professional mountain guide and licensed mountain rescuer.

    The closest natural reserve to Cluj-Napoca, this is a great place to escape the city rush and immerse our senses in the natural elements of rock, water and air! The trekking route will take you through the valley and you will admire nature at its best - all the way to the top! This route is alternative to the Via Ferrata option.

    Finally, it's time to relax and breathe in some healthy salty air! We will visit Turda Salt Mine with its underground amusement park and spend a couple of hours inside to recharge our batteries after a long day's hike!

  • Alternative: go to Rimetea village and hike Szekler's Stone

    If you want this to be a full day of hiking, we can go Rimetea village and hike the impressive Szekler's Stone! It will be a 4h uphill hike on rocky paths but the views from the top are breathtaking, I guarantee. And after that we can enjoy a delicious lunch at a restaurant in the beautiful village of Rimetea.
