All about the trip

Turda Gorge is a natural wonder with skyscraper rocks, caves and cold water river, situated 30 km from Cluj Napoca. It’s a favorite place of rock climbers and home of many protected birds and plants. Since 1938 the canyon was declared a nature conservation area. Salina Turda is one of the most important touristic attractions of Romania. It is mentioned as a salt mine as early as the 11th century. Its huge halls and underground attractions make Salina the most important tourist-sight of the region.

We will start out our cycling day on the western side of Cluj and for the first 10 km, we will follow beautiful forest-roads bordered by beech-woods and pine-groves. Passing the forests and getting to pasture, we will be welcomed by a nice panorama and an enjoyable downhill. We are going to cycle through villages and unpaved dirt-roads until we get to the canyon’s upper entrance. We will traverse the canyon, with its walls reaching 200 m along the Hesdat river, and cross some suspension bridges. Leaving the 3 km long Turda Gorge, we will continue cycling towards Turda, where a fantastic underground world is waiting for us. Salina Turda is the most amazing former salt mine in Romania. It is the coolest underground place in the world, according to Business Insider. Boating, underground Ferris-wheel and other fun surprises are waiting for us.
