We went up on a very rainy day, and there was no problem, just make sure you're adequately equipped, because the track is not so easy, although doable by everybody. It was the most wonderful landscape we had ever seen. We also went inside the cave with headlamps, which was unforgettable (we recommend to do it with experienced people and water boots). As the site has been kept as it is, in its most natural way, you won't find any restaurant/bar in the national park, so make sure you bring your own food and drinks.

One of the iconic building in the town. It was recently restored and it brings back to live the charm of other times.

The City Hall Palace and Tower THE BUILDING IS THE WORK OF ARCHITECT RIMANÓCZY KÁLMÁN JR., WHO IN 1896 WON THE PROJECT CONTEST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN OF THE CITY HALL. THE SOLEMN INAUGURATION MEETING OF THE LOCAL COUNCIL WAS HELD IN THE NEWLY-BUILT PALACE ON THE 10th OF JANUARY 1904. THE CITY HALL TOWER With a height of about 50 m and 4 main levels, three of which have observation decks, the City Hall Palace Tower is also hosts the clock announcing the exact time in Oradea. The mechanism of the clock, called the "mother clock", strikes every hour and plays Iancu's March. The local watchmaker Mezey Dezső built the mechanism in the early twentieth century, in 1904. The clock survived two world wars, while the roof and wall of the tower survived the two great fires of 1917 and 1944. The watch dial retains even today bullet holes from gunfires shot during the Second World War. The second level was also the observation point of the city firefighter on duty. Fires were announced by ringing a bell, depending on the area where the fire started. In the daytime, a red flag was unfurled in the direction of the fire, while at night an electric projector was used.

The Clock Tower of Oradea's historic City Hall allows visitors - for a modest fee - an incredible view of Old Town and surrounding hills. There are no elevators and geting to the last level may require some effort, however, if you can, this would be a most rewarding stairs-climbing trip one can take. The clock tower used to serve as a watch point for the city’s firefighters. However ironic, history says that in 1944, the tower along with its top floor and roof took fire. The City Hall Palace and its Clock Tower have been renovated and rebuilt, currently hosting quite a number of visitors every year. On the ground floor, the tower has a pretty gifts shop , were the entrance tickets are sold as well.

The waterfall is near to the Park Aventura Happy Land in Stâna de Vale. After sledging in Happy Land we walked 800 metres and the beautiful natural formation revealed to us.
