Why choose this tour ?
The Varghis Gorge is a protected natural reserve of unique beauty. It was formed by the Varghis river digging into the lime stone, creating impressive high walls and caves. While it is one of the most beautiful gorges in the Eastern Carpathians, along with Bicaz gorge, very few people actually have knowledge of it, which means that it almost never gets crowded. The trail crosses 9 bridges over the river and you have access to 3 caves out of more than 250 that are found here. The abundant flora includes beech, oak, birch, alder, ash, hazelnut and many more. The fauna is represented by various types of wild trout and other fish, small reptiles and amphibians, a wide array of small mammals from mustela family, wild cat, roe deer, wild boar and dozens of species of birds, including the lesser spotted eagle. This is a very picturesque ride so just lay back and enjoy the natural landscape and rural life.
