Trip Info
The Apuseni Mountains are one among the most interesting tourist destinations from Romania. Karst topography, flora and fauna are some of the reasons why the area was declared a nature reservation. Local people, the so-called moti, are famous for the wood-carved objects for generations. Numerous wild gorges of Galbenei, Ordancutii and Ariesului, sparkling waterfalls of Varciorog, Valul Miresei and Evantai, huge and stunning caves Ponorului Fortresses, Altarului Cave, Live Fire Glacier and Scarisoara Glacier and peaks Bihorul and Piatra Graitoare adorn the Apuseni Mountains with true landscape treasures.
