3 Days of adventure! Padis area is definitely one of the most beautiful regions in Romania. Well known for the large number of interesting caves that attract thousands of tourists, the most imposing and splendid karst formations in Romania such as Cetatile Ponorului (Fortresses of Ponor) – declared a natural monument, and the bucolic landscape with wild horses and haystacks, the whole area is a paradise for those who want both a relaxing and adventurous holiday. Type of activity: trekking, scrambling, caves
Level of difficulty: medium

Day 1: We are heading to Glavoi Meadow, the heart of Apuseni Natural Park, where we are going to embark on a journey in one of the most beautiful places in Apuseni, a karst plateau called Lumea Pierduta(The Lost World).
We’ll find ourselves on top of the most impressive vertical caves in the area: Avenul Gemanata, Avenul Pionierilor, Avenul Acoperit.
Overnight night stay in a 3* star guesthouse

Day 2: Today you’re in for an 8 hour adventure called Galbenei Gorges Circuit. Why adventure, you ask? Well, because you will visit the Ice Cave called Focul Viu (The Living Fire) – you will see why it is called like that, then cross the wild and spectacular Galbena Gorges. The crossing through the Gorges is done on cables…which will make this even more adventurous! At the end of the gorges you’ll have a beautiful surprise.
It ain’t over until it’s over, so we’ve saved the best for last: the vertical Bortig Ice Cave, 54 m deep and 34 m wide! Just imagine how it’s like to stand near it and look down…

Day 3: La piece de resistance for today is the famous Cetatile Ponorului Circuit (Fortresses of Ponor).
First, we’ll pay a visit to the place called Balcoane (The Balconies), amazing viewpoints from where you see the impressive walls that guard the entrance of Cetatile Ponorului Cave.
We’re in for a steep descent on slippery rock, but it will all be worth it because soon we will find ourselves near the entrance of the cave. After that, we’ll cross the cave for almost an hour, making our way through big boulders and water. The cave is crossed by a river, which makes it flow over huge boulders, offering an interesting view. Not to mention the small waterfalls formed inside the cave… a real natural show with natural spot lights.
Just when you thought it was over…think again. The exit of the cave is followed by a short climb on cables and soon we’ll be facing the impressive portal of the cave which is 74 m high. This makes it the biggest portal in Romania! That’s the way to end a day!
Return to Oradea.

IMPORTANT: The program can be altered on the spot, depending on weather conditions and other relevant aspects such as the physical condition of the participants.
