Hiking Trip to the Spectacular 7 Stairs Canyon

In the mountains near Brasov there is a unique natural attraction in Romania: thousands of years ago the Jurassic limestones here ruptured and collapsed, creating a narrow canyon and 7 beautiful waterfalls inside. Very similar to a gorge but more spectacular, the canyon can be crossed through a series of 9 stairways which will give you a very up-close experience with nature!
