The entrance to the Seven Ladders Gorge is also the starting point for zip line adventurers. Downhill, there are a total of 37 such zip lines (called Tiroliana in Romania), which you can hook into using a double pulley. Gravity takes over the rest, with a cable incline of between two and four degrees. The total length is four kilometers; the shortest individual section measures 47 meters, and the longest 273 meters.

Seven Ladders Canyon

Highlight • Canyon

The Șurii de Piatră mountain stream plunges spectacularly 58 meters into the Seven Ladders Gorge (Canionul Șapte Scări) over seven steps carved into the Jurassic limestone. Visitors, who are literally within touching distance of the waterfalls, negotiate the stone steps, which are between two and a half and fifteen meters high, using steel ladders connected by metal mesh walkways. The most dramatic ladder is the third: it rises fifteen meters almost vertically and is secured with bars to prevent anyone from falling backward. But that's the only safety feature in the gorge. Right next to the left handrail, the water roars impetuously into the depths. An experience!

The Cabin and Waterfall in Piatra Mare

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Entrance tickets are available at this hut, just before the entrance to the gorge. A large signboard explains in several languages the potential dangers that can be expected when climbing the ladders. Once you've hiked this far, you won't be deterred by them.
