Where do I find water?

There is a spring of drinking water 200 m from the beginning of the forest road from the Cheile Turzii chalet. The second source of water is at the level of the path inside the gorges called Sipotul Cheilor located in their middle part. This has a variable flow, very low in dry periods, and the water is difficult to collect due to its leakage on the surface of the rock.
Drinking water can also be found at the terrace of the Cheile Turzii chalet and at the terrace located on the plateau, the camping area - see the photo gallery below.
