    The Apuseni Mountains are a mountain formation in western Romania. Numerous wild gorges (Galbenei, Ordâncutii, Ariesului), sparkling waterfalls (Vârciorog, Valul Miresei, Evantai), enormous and amazing caves (Ponorului fortresses, Altarului cave, Focul Viu glacier, Scarisoara glacier) and peaks (Bihorul, Piatra Grăitoare) adorn the Apuseni Mountains with true natural treasures.
