10 Caverns & Caves in Transylvania That You Shouldn't Miss

August 28, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Transylvania is a historical region in today's central Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally the Romanian part of Banat.

Radeasa Fortress Cave

About The Radeasa Fortress The Radeasa Fortress cave is located at the spring of the Somesul Cald river, being in an advanced evolution stage. It perfectly shows the way in which caves turn into gorges. The cave has a 15 m tall and 7 m wide oval-shaped entrance, into which the Radeasa stream enters. The single gallery is a 212 m long tunnel, with ample halls and chimneys going all the way.

The cave is across Cris River, really easy to visit without special equipment. The tour it case ~ 1 hour and the guide is really friendly actually is the Salvamont person from the area. Nearby you have a place where to park your car and to enjoy the nature. You can do also canoeing in Cris River.

Bicaz Canyon

Reviewed By Safari209967 - Dallas, United States

Wish I had more time to spend there and admire the canyon and be better equipped for that place so we can walk on foot for awhile, not just stop then continue. We travel East to West in the middle of the day. If you like sunrise or sunset you should try to be there for those, I'm sure it will be spectacular. .

Pestera Bolii

Reviewed By XeqT - Bucharest, Romania

A must see in Petrosani, right next to Cheile Banitei (check my review on that place too!). The entrance fee is cheap and worth 100% -> it is well taken care of, with some nice picture spots and the fact that a river flows through it is definitely a plus! Go for it!
