When we arrived at 9:20 am on a Wednesday, there were no cars at the parking area. We followed the signs and found the trail.
The trail is well maintained. You can probably hike it with tennis shoes. There are shelters and picnic tables along the way.
The trail is along a river but it was a dry bed in September. The workers drove up the river in off-road vehicles.
After 45 minutes, you come upon a building where you pay the 10 lei ($2.35) admission fee. Apparently, you can also spend a night in the shelter.
Another 5-minute walk from the entrance, you'll find the start of the canyon.
It's a slot canyon with 7 ladders that connect one section to another. Some of the ladders are steep but they're fairly easy to negotiate.
It only took about 15 minutes to climb the 7 ladders then you hike through the woods, following the red dots to return to the building.
You can either hike back to the parking area or zipline back for 100 lei ($23). You get a helmet and the harness. Ask for gloves. After 10 minutes of instruction and a practice zip, you're off on your own. You hook yourself up and stop on your own. There were over 20 zip lines and they were a lot of fun but on some of the lines, you do come in pretty quickly. If you've never zip lined or have a fear of heights, this is not right for you. Some of the platforms were pretty high. It took us over 2 hours to do the course.
