Cascada Pruncea (Niagara de Buzău)

The Pruncea Waterfall, also known as the Niagara of Buzau, is an unusual waterfall located in the Buzau mountains area, distinctive in that it is considered by many to be a man-made cascade, formed after works on the riverbed created a ledge over which the water falls across the entire width of the course. Though not very tall, the waterfall impresses through its unusual breadth, which earned it the nickname referring to the famous Niagara, offering a spectacle of water tumbling uniformly over the stone edge. Set in a natural landscape of hills and forest specific to the Buzau region, the waterfall has become an increasingly popular attraction, especially thanks to images spread on social networks.

Its flow and appearance vary according to the season and the amount of water. Practical note: it is most spectacular in spring, when the flow is high; access is by mountain-area roads, so check the road condition and wear footwear suitable for the terrain.
