Grota Haiducilor

The Outlaws' Grotto is a cave near the resort of Băile Herculane, one of the oldest spa resorts in Europe, set in the gorge of the Cerna River in the Banat. The name evokes legends about the outlaws who are said to have sheltered in such caves in the surrounding limestone massif, using them as hideouts in olden times. The grotto opens on the rocky slopes around the resort and can be visited during walks on the local trails. The surrounding landscape, with steep walls, rich vegetation, and thermal waters rising to the surface, makes the whole valley of the Cerna a remarkable place, prized since Roman times for its healing springs.

Băile Herculane preserves historic buildings and an old-world air that complements the beauty of the nature. Visitors can combine exploring the grotto with discovering the heritage of the resort. Suitable footwear is recommended for the access paths and caution on the rocky trails.
