Zanoagei Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A nice gorge. I did the hike with a 5 year old, but there are several areas that can be dangerous. If you don't feel confident crossing the bridges, it's better to cross the Ialomița river on foot.

On most of the path, there are rocks, which can be challenging for a begginer, but nonetheless fun.

At the end of the gorge you can find several places to grab something to eat or a old drink. You will likely have to come back on the same way, but we found it even easier coming back.

Seven Waterfalls (Șapte Cascade), Bucegi Natural Park

Highlight • Waterfall

Unfortunately, this circular route is not recommended at all.
Yes, the first hour is great, right in the forest along the water. The next 2 hours are well. Is a gravel road. And the last 30 minutes are terrible, right on the road and the way Romanians drive it is really not entirely safe. Definitely not with children.
