Mountain

Rezervația Naturală Cheile Turzii

The Turda Gorge Nature Reserve, near Turda, is one of the most spectacular canyons in Transylvania, carved over millennia by the waters of the Hășdate valley through the limestone massif. Sheer walls over a hundred metres high rise dizzyingly on either side of the gorge, sheltering caves, grottoes and a rare flora with unique species, which earned it protected status. A marked route, with trails and footbridges suspended over the stream, winds through the ravine and offers dramatic views at every turn, beloved by hikers and climbers. Spring and autumn are ideal, with rich vegetation and pleasant light. It is a nature destination that is both accessible and impressive, a short distance from Cluj-Napoca. Wear good hiking footwear; check the trail conditions, which can be affected by weather or works.
