It depends on your physical condition here we will do a hike of 5 Km or 9 km in a circle tour. We will find a wild karst panorama, with high cliffs and steep with sharp ridges, rock towers, long paths for walking, climbing routes, hiking trails and dozens of caves. The Gorge is a complex geological, biological and archaeological preserve. Many of the caves were inhabited by prehistoric men since the Neolithic.

Rimetea

After the hiking trail, we will head to Rimetea village. Known for its traditional white houses with green windows, Rimetea is one of the best-conserved and most beautiful rural attractions in Romania. It’s also the first village in the country that was granted the Europa Nostra award for the successful preservation of its architectural patrimony. Rimetea was for hundreds of years an important mining and blacksmiths’ center, witnessing both prosperous times as a commercial city and decay as a simple medieval village. Besides having this unique and charming architecture, the village is also located in a wonderful geographical area. It is surrounded from side to side by 500-600 meter calcareous massifs and traversed from north to south by the River Rimetea. Here we will take a tour of the village after which we will serve a warm Romanian Traditional meal.
