Cheile Sugăului

The Sugau Gorges are a spectacular defile near the town of Piatra Neamt, in the Hasmas mountains, where the Sugau stream has carved its way between high walls of limestone. The nature reserve that protects the gorges shelters a diverse flora and fauna, including rare plant species adapted to the rocky environment. The arranged tourist trail follows the course of the water, with walkways, stairs and bridges that allow the more difficult stretches to be crossed, offering views of the rock formations and small waterfalls.

The area is prized for the wildness and beauty of its landscape and is a favourite attraction for hikers and nature lovers. The gorges belong to a mountain area rich in caves and exploration routes. Proper footwear, care on the wet stretches and respect for the rules of the nature reserve are recommended during the visit.
