Suspension Bridge at Cheile Turzii (Middle Key)

Highlight • Bridge

Another wobbly suspension bridge over the Hășdate, at a point called "Middle Key". We now continue upstream on the right bank. The limestone walls all around are at their highest here.

Fallen Rock Installation – Turda Gorge

Highlight • Structure

Rockfall is an ever-present danger in the Turzii Gorge. This somewhat macabre installation points out the risk more forcefully than any warning sign. It's a shame that one of the hikers who was "killed" by a boulder is already broken, which somewhat diminishes the illusion.

Suspension bridge at the Washed-Out Hideout Cave (Cheile Turzii)

Highlight • Bridge

These small caves are located right next to the river and you can climb through them with a little skill. The locals have called them "The Washed-Out Hideout".

Keyhole Gorge Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The first bridge over the Hășdate in the gorge is the largest and most stable. It is called the "Gate of Keys". There are three more bridges further upstream. These are much more wobbly, but still safe to cross. The Hășdate has dug itself into the landscape over a length of 31 kilometers when the Jurassic limestone terrain slowly rose over millions of years. The actual gorge is 1300 meters long, framed by steep walls up to 200 meters high.

The drive to Sighișoara is quite monotonous, with the Turda Gorge right on the way. We take the opportunity to hike through it.
We even saw a few circling eagles, unfortunately from very high above. It was a nice trip.
