Turda Gorge (Cheile Turzii)

Not far from the large city of Cluj and close to the town of Turda there is a beautiful natural landmark - the Turda Gorge (Chele Turzii), 3 km long. A convenient footpath is laid through the gorge.

We walked only along the gorge (photos taken from the drone), but you can see it from above, using the upper hiking trails. It is also the most popular climbing place in Romania.












If you have  car and want to spend the night somewhere in the area, we recommend the Pensiunea Cheile Apusenilor (booking.com). Located in the middle of nowhere, very interesting and unusual place. 5 minutes to the canyon by car. Here is a view from the window.






The gorge is to the left on the map
