There are longer, grander, and more rugged gorges in the Carpathians, but definitely not one where you can explore three intertwining crevices with a moderately difficult, hence family-friendly and safe hike. An unmissable destination.

    Csodálatos túra, gyönyörű vízeséssekkel, jól kiépített pallókkal, láncokkal, drótkötelekkel és létrákkal a patak felett, amik nagyban megkönnyítik a mászást. Viszont vannak olyan helyek, ahol nincs semmi sem, ami segítené a feljutást, így több alkalommal a vizes, csúszós sziklákon kell óvatosan felmászni. Kis gyerekekkel (1-6) én nem ajánlanám a teljes túrát, csak a kék jelzesűt, itt csak pallók vannak, létrákon nem kell mászni, és a végén a réten kecskék, birkák és póni is látható. A hotel parkolóban idősávok alapján kell fizetni, de előtte és mellette vannak sokkal olcsóbb magánparkolók is. Ahogy a leírásban is szerepel, kora reggel kell menni, elkerülendő a tömeget. Mi reggel 8-kor indultunk, sok fotózással és büfés pihenővel közel 4 óra alatt mentünk végig a túrán. Közel dél körül olyan emberáradat jött velünk szembe, ilyet még nem láttunk, és alig lehetett a keskeny pallókon elférni egymás mellett.

    Super Tour! Es ist das erste mal, dass ich 5 Sterne vergebe. Die Natur ist sehr schön, die Schluchten spektakulär! Wie auf einem Foto zu sehen ist sind größere Abschnitte mit Treppen ausgerüstet.
