Venture into the heart of Transylvania with two unforgettable outdoor experiences in the breathtaking Turda Gorges (Cheile Turzii), just 30 km from Cluj-Napoca. Whether you're a thrill-seeker looking for a vertical challenge or a nature lover eager to hike through unspoiled landscapes, this destination promises spectacular views, adrenaline, and natural beauty. The Climbing Experience via ferrata offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to scale sheer rock faces with the help of steel cables, ladders, and suspension bridges, all under the guidance of experienced professionals—no prior technical skills required, but a good level of fitness is recommended.
As you ascend from river level through the dramatic gorge, you’ll encounter lush vegetation, towering cliffs, and the unforgettable “Grota lui Hili,” a vertical cave that serves as a striking highlight along the route. The final viewpoint rewards climbers with panoramic vistas that capture the raw, rugged essence of Transylvania. Once at the top, enjoy a well-earned photo session before descending via a scenic hiking trail, allowing time to soak in the peaceful beauty of the region from a new perspective.
If you prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground, the medium-difficulty Hiking Experience offers a 9 km journey through the same awe-inspiring landscape—minus the climbing. This immersive trail leads you to three breathtaking viewpoints, a hidden cave, and deep into the canyon where the diverse local flora and fauna flourish. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive golden eagle soaring above. Both experiences promise lasting memories, a connection with nature, and a deeper appreciation for one of Romania’s natural treasures.
