    When it rains it’s not that great beacuse ut’s kind of muddy but all in all it was a nice expetience. You will not see many signs on the road but it’s easy to find, you just have to follow the road.

    Really impressive place. Easy to reach by car. Entry tax 20lei/person.

    When you arrive there, you will be greeted by a person who will hand you a leaflet with information about the complex that also has a map. You can leave the car in the parking lot, there are paths arranged to each objective, and the ticket costs 20 RON (4 EUR) per person. The included objectives are: the extinct volcano Racos, the basalt quarry Brazi nicknamed by the locals The Emerald Lake, the basalt columns, and the Sükösd-Bethlen castle. There's a toilet as well as kiosks where you can buy souvenirs.
  • By Laurentiu-Marian Angheluta
    The whole geological complex is unique in Romania. A landscape that reminds me of Iceland and a lot of beautiful landmarks. The crater is quite beautiful in the right light or high from above.
