The beautiful landscape in the middle of Romania was created by the erosion of water and wind during the last 60 million years. The river Secaș dug deeply through the layers of gravel, sandstone and quartz and created the impressive relief that still changes its appearance today.
The location is still relatively unknown and therefore its natural beauty is well preserved. In 1968 the Râpa Roșie was declared a protected area. Still today, almost 70 years later, every visitor is fascinated by the natural rock formation.
