Summary

We depart from Bucharest at 6.00 in the morning and head, by car, towards West passing by the city of Pitesti and then Curtea de Arges. Half an hour after Curtea de Arges we will be on “the most beautiful road in the world” and soon on the most spectacular dam in Romania. We must stop to see it, the vertical drop is huge. We slowly gain height following the river until the trail forces us to the steep banks and then it all starts: the first waterfalls and ladders and bridges come into view. Be prepared with the camera while paying attention where you put your feet on. You will want to take pictures at every corner. And it goes like this, for about more than an hour. We might even need to pass through the water at some points along the route. Finally, we feel sorry for actually finishing the canyon route. The remaining route takes us back in an arch to the dam lake and then, by following the road, to the cars. On the return way, we will stop in Curtea de Arges to visit the orthodox monastery, which is one of the cultural and historical hallmarks of Romania. We estimate to arrive in Bucharest by 20.00-21.00, depending on the traffic.
