Amazing spot just 40 mins away from the city. Just make sure you bring proper climbing shoes as the cliffs can be slippery.

Great location for a walk or hike, pretty clean in general. There are some caves you can visit. You can also climb the cliff if you are a fan of that, make sure to bring your equipment.

It has a magnificent scenery with the combination of forest, grassland, huge rocks and a small creek inside the canyon. Walking inside the canyon needs care and safety but it's a good place to refresh your mind and body.

Very nice experience on a very interesting natural maze with woods, mountains, hills and rivers. A lot of camping sites along the trails....fascinating

What a hike! The trails are very well marked. The hike can be as difficult or easy as you'd like. Those with small dogs and children should avoid the ascent to the peak as it's not an easy hike up. If you stay inside the Cheile between the gorge, then it's pleasant and an easy hike. Be sure to have your own car as a Bolt or Uber is impossible to acquire.
