The Apuseni Mountains  The Sunset Mountains

The Western Sunset Mountains

The Apuseni Mountains are the western-most of the great wreath of mountains which cradle Transilvania.

Their name translates from Romanian as Mountains "of the western sunset".  The highest peak is "Cucurbăta Mare" at . The Apuseni Mountains have about 400 caves.

The Apuseni Mountains
Seen from a distance, The Apuseni Mountains don’t seem so much different from the other ranges that build up the great Carpathian wreath at the core of Romania. At a first glance one would even say they are not really worth paying a visit, especially since they are quite low and don’t seem to have anything spectacular to show to the visitor.

However, when getting to this point we should remember that one should not judge a book by its cover: in fact, the Apuseni Mountains are a first class destination for both Romanian and foreign tourists in search for a unique holiday. They do not impress by heights and steep rocks, but by something totally different, as you will see.

The Apuseni are part of the Western Carpathians and comprise a variety of geographical forms, beautiful landscapes and traditional livelihoods. They can be included among some well-known attractions of Romania – The Danube Delta, Bucovina, Maramureş or Prahova Valley.

What makes them special are the unique limestone phenomena, the local people who inhabit them and their lifestyle, as well as the extraordinary mixture between these two: human beings and nature. Together, they give birth to unexpected sights and when you have understood enough of its spirit, will stir new emotions in you.

We like to believe that exploring the Apuseni is a spiritual experience that uncovers gradually and probably never reaches an end. Most of the people who chose to have a taste of this experience came back as often as they could, like children craving to return to their favourite playground. If you are open enough to enter this magical world, its deep and significant simplicity will leave important marks in your mind and soul.

Bounded roughly by the Barcău River in the north, and more definitively by the Mureş river to the south, the Apuseni mountains extend from the Criş hills in the west where the Pannonian Plain rises, across to the Transilvanian Plateau.

The main distinct ranges are the Criş, the Şimleu, the Şeş-Meşeş (say that 3 times when you're drunk), and the Mureş mountains, with several sub-groupings

More information will be here soon about the Apuseni Mountains in the Crişana and Transilvania region of Romania!

If you have some information for us about the Apuseni Mountains or County Arad , please Let us know about it now!

We appreciate all of your efforts!

The Moti People

The inhabitants of this zone, the "moti", good wood-workers, are renamed for all the domestic-use wooden tools they are producing. Someone can meet them selling the artisan products all over the country. The two handled tubs and the wooden pails "made in Apuseni" can be seen on sale in the major fairs in Romania. There are still old crafters, producing such objects, in Patrahaitesti, a little mountain village where, if interested, you may hear the famous "Alps horns", which are used for generations in the Apuseni Mountains too.

In Summer time, farmers are leading their herds of cows and flocks of sheep in the high mountain, where they rest until the first snowfall. You may admire on the high pastures the "hodai", Summer houses used by local people, while being with their herds in the mountains.
If you wish to discover local life and preserved traditions, one of the main points of interest is the Aries Valley, including the beautiful villages of Albac, Garda, Arieşeni.

Understanding the Apuseni

Even though they are not very high or rocky (the highest peak, Bihor, is 1849m high), the Apuseni can be included among some well-known attractions of Romania – The Danube Delta, Bucovina, Maramureş or Prahova Valley. What makes them special are the limestone forms, typical for the karstic relief, the local people who inhabit them and their lifestyle, as well as the extraordinary mixture between these two key elements for this area of the Carpathians: the human being and nature. When travelling in Romania, if you were not born here, you will notice that human life is very much connected to nature here, especially in the countryside, where people still live an unaltered life. Still, this connection takes different shapes in all the different parts of the country, and this is something definitely worth discovering!

As for the Apuseni, our experience has shown that, in order to really penetrate the spirit of these places, you need patience, passion, love for nature and an open mind. We like to believe that exploring the Apuseni is a spiritual experience tha uncovers gradually and probably never reaches an end. Most of the people who chose to have a taste of this experience came back as often as they could, like a child who wants to return to his/her favourite playground. Moreover, once you’ve lived the Apuseni experience you will feel the need to share it with your friends and colleagues, with the whole world, because these places make you give away a piece of what they have given YOU. This is how you enrich yourself by enriching the others.

But let’s come to more practical things, like HOW to reach this experience…

If you are an active person, you have a whole series of options for spending a group holiday in the Apuseni: caving (in some of the hundreds of unique caves that are found here), hiking and trekking on marked and non-marked trails, kayaking and white-water rafting on mountain lakes and streams, cycling, rock-climbing (a complete range of climbing routes), canioning – these are only some ideas!

If you are interested in something really special, you can chose to go cross-country skiing, bird watching, wild animal searching or you can try a photo safari which the Apuseni allow for.

If you love folk traditions and you want to understand how an authentic lifestyle has been preserved here for thousands of years, you have the chance to do it in almost every rural community sheltered by the Apuseni Mountains. Pottery, chest-making, weaving, wood-carving, lime-making are but a few of the habitual occupations and crafts that contribute to the charm of these areas, keeping their spirit alive.

The traditional architecture, the work people do in the forest or in the field preserve a way of life that is typical for the mountain area, where human destiny interweaves closely with the deep meanings of water, earth, air, fire… Here life is measured in the roads we walk, the houses we build, the pots we make, the towels we weave. Here everything has a meaning and a sense, and this may be the most surprising aspect of a trip in the Apuseni!

The Apuseni Mountains provide, in their variety, the ideal space for a holiday at the heart of nature – both in summer and in winter. However, the uniqueness of your experience also depends upon yourself! It is found in respect towards nature and the local people. Over time, humanity has learned that the destruction of nature and of the cultural heritage of local populations all over the world led to huge losses in identity and self-awareness, whose effects are terrible. At present there are countless attempts to undo the mistakes of the past, but some can never be repaired.

Because we do not want to lose what we have inherited, we are struggling to preserve all this natural and cultural patrimony that the Apuseni Mountains hold. That is why many areas and sites here have been declared protected areas. The Apuseni Nature Park, the « Crişul Repede Gorges » Reserve, Vantului Cave, Meziad Cave, The Flowers’ Glade, Cetăţile Ponorului are some of the most important ones. With few exceptions, a great number of these protected areas are open to public access (more or less specialized public), within special ecotourist programs.

The areas you can visit by means of the Apuseni Experience program are:

  * Vadu Crişului – Suncuiuş (on the valley of Crişul Repede)

  * The superior valley of the Arieş

  * Padiş karst plateau

Apuseni Experience

The King's Forest

The Pădurea Craiului Mountains are in the north-western part of the Apuseni Mountains of the Carpathian Mountain range, located between the Vad-Borod Depression and Beiuş Depression. The Dealurile Vestice (Vestice Hills) are located to the west of these mountains and the Vlădeasa Mountains are to their east. The highest peak in Pădurea Craiului is Hodrâncuşa at 1027 metres. The name Pădurea Craiului literally means "The Forest of the King".

The mountains have an area of 1150 km˛ and are located in the central-eastern part of Bihor County, covering 15.2% of its surface area. They are also the mountainous area nearest to Oradea (which is about 35 km away from Vârciorog, and 60 km away of Şuncuiuş).

The Snow Feasts at Arişeni

Thousands of tourists, most of them young, participated at the end of this week, in the first edition of the Snow Feasts organised at Arieseni, in the Apuseni Mountains, Alba County. The Feasts debuted on Friday evening with competitions, folk music recitals given by Victor Socaciu and Vali Serban, but also a disco club on snow around a huge fire. Saturday there were plenty of surprise competitions, new being those of running bare-foot on the snow, or throwing snowballs, the targets being photos of Romanian political personalities.

Another brand new competition was the football on snow wearing ski-boots, or the tug of war on ice. Present were also the traditional competitions of slalom skiing, snowboarding and sledging. Saturday evening was closed with concerts, fireworks and an outdoor disco club near the fire on which the organisers roasted a calf.

Sunday, the last day of the events, were organised ski, snowboard and sledging competitions, as well as skiing in tandem, and the competition in which the pairs of lovers had to roll downward on a large inflated bottle.

The Roşia Montana Hay Fest

FanFest (Hay Fest) welcomes its friends to celebrate the environment, the culture and music in Rosia Montana during august 25 and 27, in the heart of Apuseni Mountains. This year, the live performances of bands invited, both from the country and abroad, will vary from rock to jazz, folk, reggae, world music and others, the organisers assure. For the first time in Fanfest, a second stage will be present – during the day, it will be dedicated to cultural activates such as theatre, dancing, video displays, and to chill out sessions at night.

Patrahăiteşti Museum

The last day we will go by car to Patrahaitesti hamlet, where we will learn about the role of the wood in local people’s life, about carving and weaving and we’ll visit a local museum with traditional hand made objects. Here we will have a chance to see how local people used to communicate in the past, from a mountain to another by using specific wooden made instruments and see a practical demonstration of this local custom.

Key Points to Visit

Crisul Repede Nature Reserve

Discover one of the main nature reserves in the Apuseni Mountains (proposed Natura 2000 site), hike through the rocky banks of Cris River, observe the flora and fauna of the area, and visit Vadu Crisului cave, also a protected area. Trek to the centre of the mountains, following unmarked routes and enjoy a silent night at a campfire near a mountain lake.

Padurea Craiului Mountains

Visit Meziad cave nature reserve, a cave where you can learn about the life of the bats and how ancient populations lived here.Trek to a mountain resort nearby and taste the famous mineral water from the Wonder Spring while enjoying a walk in old pinetree forests. 

Padiş

Core of the Apuseni Mountains Trek to Padis area, the “agora” of the Apuseni Mountains, where trekkers gather from all over the Apuseni. Daily hikes to some of the most fascinating and wild karst phenomena: Somesul Cald Gorge, Cetatile Ponorului Cave, Poiana Ponor (Ponor Glade). Discover a complex and fascinating world of water, limestone and wild forests, a true Lost World.

Glavoi Meadow Camping

The area called "La Grajduri" or the Glavoi Glade are the starting point for visiting the most beautiful sightseeing places of the region: The Ponor glade, The Ghetarul Focul Viu Cave, the Paitra Galbenei steep, the Barsa basin, the Valea Galbenei stream, the Ponor Glade, the Lost World plateau, the Poiana Florilor glade.
   "La Grajduri" or the Glavoi glades and the zone surrounding the Padis caban are the only places where the tourists are allowed to camp.

Galbena Gorge and Poiana Florilor

Trek to Poiana Florilor (The Flowers’ Glade), enjoy the view and diversity of the flowers, discover the underground glacier “Focul Viu” (The Living Fire) and dare to be a pioneer in the wilderness of Galbena Gorge.

The Ghetarul Focul Viu Cave is situated on the Circuitul Galbenei access road and has two big rooms (the first being very large, occupied by a huge ice block that is illuminated through a window from the room’s ceiling).
The access in the cave is made through a descendent gallery to a wooden balcony, set in its superior side, which offers a great view over the cave.
The ceiling of the big room is broken by a window in which a huge amount of logs, leaves and even snow has fallen, accumulated in a huge pile in the center of the room.
Through the cave’s ceiling gets in sufficient light in order to reveal the splendor of the ice stalagmites in the cave.
Especially around noon, the sun beams that go in through the window, offer a wonderful scenery ( from this fact, resulting the name of the cave "the living fire" cave).
The presence of ice is explained by the cracked ceiling which favours the cold air accumulation and the lack of ventilation inside the cave maintains the cold air inside all year long.
The ice block from this cave has a 25.000 m3 capacity, being the third as dimensions, compared to the Scarisoara Ice Block (75.000  m3 ) and the Bortig Precipice (30.000 m3).

The Caput Cave

Used as a teaching aid by the speologists, the Caput cave represents the collector of all the water of this drainage area, representing a descending leveled gallery, with may waterfalls of over 2000 meters. These waters are drained to the underground gallery of the Ponor Fortresses.
 The canyons from the Boga Valley basin are a mystery to the tourists. But due to their spectacular aspect and to the fact that are hard to reach ( we see it as a strong point) and to the wilderness of the scenery they are a high importance attraction point of the area.
 The covering of this area (except for some easier passes)  is recommended only to the trained tourists that are equipped for a sport that is little practiced in Romania : the canyoning .
The Bulbuci valley , the Oselu valley, the Boga valley, the Valea Rea area, the Valea Plaiului area and the surrounding areas have wild areas aspects, steep slopes and waterfalls, springs, canyons and stunning steeps, everything being surrounded by one of the most thick and unreachable broad-leaved trees forests in the Apuseni mountains.
If we add the fact that there are some pretty well hidden natural arches and some caves that are waiting to be discovered, we have said more than we should….

Carligate Peak

  Situated in the north-western part of Padis, the peak offers to the tourists a special interest due to the wide views that it has on Padis as on most part of the Apuseni mountains (the Vladeasa massive, the Beius basin, the Codru Moma basin, the Biharea massive)
    The peak is formed of the Carligate peak (1694 meters), which continues to the west with Cornu Muntilor peak (1652 meters) and the Braiasa steep and to the east with the Cumpanatelul peak. The access to the peak is made from Padis following the path to Stana de Vale.

The Piatra Galbenei Steep

Through the prospects that it offers,  Piatra Galbenei steep represents undoubtedly one of the most beautiful belvedere points from the Apuseni Mountains. The Piatra Galbenei steep (1243 meters), seen from the north, is a slope situated in the southern part of the Barsa hollow. The southern part of the slope is a lime stoned steep of over 200 meters, with large perspectives, being situated next to the glade named "Poiana Florilor".

Under the slope lays a beautiful beech tree forest, in which you can always find small slopes sprinkled with the grass-mowers’ shelters, all these composing the glade named "Poiana Florilor".

Beyond these, the Valea Galbenei stream and all the small streams that flow into it, deepens between the wooden peaks. One of these small streams splits the opposite  mountain, having in its superior part a huge "bleeding wound": it’s the Groapa Ruginoasa Valley, dug by the torrents in the Tapu Mountain, the place where the Valea Seaca river springs, with its numerous canyons, rich in waterfalls and passes.

In the right side, you can see the Stirbina, the Gainasu and the Tartaroaia  cliffs, the last one being surrounded by glades.

From this valley, called Valea Galbenei, goes to the left the Luncsoara valley, which origin is close to Arieseni, under the small village called Cobles, whose houses can be seen in the distance. Still in that direction is situated the ski slope on the Vartop mountain. Behind it, in the sunny days it can be seen the Curcubata Mare cliff, which has the television relay on.

Finally, the near left plan is dominated by the presence of wooded  Bortig Mountain, which goes down in a very abrupt slope to the Izbucul Doamnei Spring, hidden by wooded peaks, but revealed by a lime stone rock shaped as a portal.

Bihorul Peak (1849m)

Celebrate the final of the trip by climbing the highest peak of the Apuseni Mountains and enjoying the view of the entire mountains you have trekked.

The Bears’ Cave and wooden church

Have a smooth approach to the mountains and start your trip with a visit to the Bears’ Cave, a famous Romanian show-cave and a 300-year old wooden church. Enjoy a glass of pălincă (a traditional home-made plum brandy) in a local museum, and discover the ancient way of life of the Apuseni Mountains people.

Bohodei waterfall

Enjoy a moderate day hike to the Bohodei waterfall, listen the sound of the water falling from an impressive height and let yourself delighted by one of the wildest part of this mountain.

Oşelu waterfall

Groapa de la Barsa karst plateau

Named also the  Barsa basin, this area is one of the most savage areas in the Apuseni Mountains, that has a wet climate that favourised the development of a thick herbal vegetation. Besides that, the thick forest, the bilberry bushes, the rough ground with numerous blind openings, ended with slopes and the lack of prospect points make the passing through the hollow become a true adventure. 
     In the area there are many interesting karst shapes through their variety: a very big  crashed slope (without herb at the moment), another slope having a natural bridge, a suspended lake with black water situated in a dolina ( the Taul Negru Lake) and several caves: the complex Zapodie- Pestera Neagra ( developed for over 11 km, difficult route).

     An other important visiting point is the Ghetarul de la Barsa cave, whose entry is situated in the northern part of the basin. Its length is of 2750 meters, the entry part being accessible and you can also see ice; the size of the ice block varies considering the season. The marked path that circulates through the Barsa hollow passes by all the mentioned sight seeing places. The only drinking water spring is on the southern part near the entry in the Black Cave.(Pestera Neagra).

The Fortress of Ponor

(Cetăţile Ponorului)

Cetăţile Ponorului (The Ponor Citadel) is the true symbol of the Apuseni Mountains nature. Enjoy a full day hiking along them and discover the fantastic/outstanding mechanism that nature builds here.

Ponor's Fortresses represent the most spectacular world-wide appreciated  karst phenomenon in Romania . The symbol of Padis and even of the entire Apuseni Mountains, the portal of the three huge dolina fascinates any nature-lover tourist. They are made of three big rocky basins situated in a huge forested valley, 300 m deep and with its superior part having over 1 km as a diameter. 
The surrounding cliffs that close circularly are cut in a single place by the canyon called The Valley of Fortresses.
The touristic map, set in order to visit Ponor's Fortresses was renewed in 2002, by setting a balcony from where you can admire the portal and a railing on the left slope of the Valley of the Fortresses.
  This way, the road goes down in the first dolina to a belvedere point, to the portal and then goes up to the four balconies, two of them being situated above the second and the third dolina, allowing the contemplation of the dimensions of the impressive karst complex of the Ponor's Fortresses

Ponor Meadow

The access to the glade is made from Padis or from Grajduri, on a route that crosses the slopes with lapies or from the Ponor Fortresses crossing a wooded or marshed slope. It’s a closed basin surrounded by partially wooded high cliffs.

The area of the glade, covered with small grass, prolongs on the surrounding cliffs.

The attraction of the glade is a result of the water loss which is made in the river’s layer through small holes, covered with thin sand called sips.
When it rains heavily, or when the snow melts, these holes cannot drain the whole amount of water which accumulates, over passing the normal layer of the river.
The more the water level grows and floods the areas that are usually dry, new sips are formed. When neither these cannot drain the water, seems that the entire glade is flooded by the water of a big lake.
Above these holes, a lime stoned wall in which several caves are delved completes the charm of this glade.
The Ponor glade is one of the few polje from our mountains, fulfilling the double requirements (that is to have bothe the supply and the underground drainage on karst channels).

ATTENTION!
The Ponor glade is a protected area! Do not camp! Thank you for helping us protect this area!

Galbena Gorge

Cheile Someşului Cald

Discover another bijou of the area: Someşul Cald Gorge, with its wild rocky cliffs and waterfalls, compact forest and amazing caves.

Situated in the northern part of the Padis area, in the Somesul Cald basin, the region is one of the most complex and interesting karst areas in the Bihor Mountains with many caves, canyons, springs, having an extremely wild aspect.
The ravines, although there are 3 km long are heavier to cover than the Radeasa Fortresses, due to the level differences and to its relative length.
The entry road begins in the Radeasa glade . The extremely wild area, with well preserved forests and vegetation , pierced here and there by lime stoned pillars of over 100 meters high, waterfalls and canyons, belvedere points (1342 meters), caves, springs.
When it’s draught, the tourists that are not afraid of taking a bath in the stream and that have elementary climbing skills, can also try to cover the gorges following the water line from downstream to upstream.

Groapa Ruginoasă phenomenon

Transfer to Arieş valley, in the highlands of the Apuseni Mountains - also known as Ţara Moţilor (Country of the Moţi). It is here that you can visit Groapa Ruginoasă (the Rusty Pit), the largest natural erosion phenomenon in Romania.

The Varasoaia Glade

The area called Varasoaia puts together two  big karst plateaus, situated on the north of the Padis Glade and is included between the Piatra Boghii cliff, the Magura Vanata mountain and the Varasoaia cliff and the Somesul Cald basin.

The Varasoaia Glade is sprinkled with many dolines with caves and circular hollows in which the surface waters flow into. Some of them, remarkable through their length or their dislevelment are the purpose of the visits or of the prospects of speleologists.( for example the circular hollow V5, dislevelment level is of 654 meters and 10.000 meters long), making it the deepest cave in Romania).

Also, in the Varasoaia glade there is a karst lake named "Taul Varasoaia".
The Varasoaia cliff (1441 meters), which dominates the whole glade, constitutes an excellent belvedere point, with large views over the Beius basin, the Boga valley, the Braiasa steep, of the Bad Valley (Valea Rea), of the Carligate cliff and the Cumpanatelul basin, the Cuciulata glade, the Onceasa glade, the Somes ravine, the Magura Vanta mountain, the Padis plane and the Boserica Mottului cliff and the southern part until you get to the Groapa Ruginoasa hollow and the Tapu and Curcubata Mare cliffs.
The Varasoaia cliff represents one of the most beautiful belvedere point from the Padis area due to its possibility to offer a complete sight seeing tour .
The Varasoaia glade is a protected area! The access of the automobiles, the camping and lighting the fire are prohibited!

Scărişoara Ice Cave

A 3000-year old underground glacier is not a usual thing in Europe, but to the Moţi population it has already become a normal aspect in the local geography. Located near a charming hamlet, the ice cave is a “must see”, along with the entire plateau, where you will see how a karst system works.

Casa de Piatră

The last day to spend in the mountains will be dedicated to a horse-cart trip to one of the most remote places in The Country of the Moţi: Casa de Piatră/ The Rocky House hamlet. Discover the traditional way of life here and explore the interactions between people and Mother Nature.

Radeasa Fortress

The Radeasa Fortress is situated at the spring of the Somesul Cald river. The cave is in an advanced stage of evolution, perfectly stating the transformation of caves in the massives gorges.
 
    The cave has a high portal of over 15 meters and over 7 meters of width, ogival shaped, in which the Radeasa stream goes in. The cave has a single gallery, tunnel shaped, 212 meters long with huge rooms and funnels that goes through the cave’s ceiling to the surface. The five windows, created by those funnels leave the sun beams get in.
     In the upper side, the tunnel goes on with a very long, narrow canyon of about 50 meters.
    The cave is difficult to visit because of the arrangements in a high degradation condition. From the upper side, you can get back to the portal’s area above the cave, visiting the cracks in the ceiling.
    After going out of the cave and out of the Radeasa canyon you can go to the Radeasa glade, an excellent stop over place. Please do not camp, do not leave trash and do not set the fire!
    The place is surrounded by rocks with vegetation and steep slopes with very high pine trees, fact that provides it a spectacular aspect.
    It’s here that the Radeasa Stream merges with the Feredeu stream, resulting this way the Somesul Cald river.

The Lost World

The Lost World, named this way due to its wild aspect that it used to have, represents a wooded karst plateau, limited by the Izbucul Ursului stream, the Valea Seaca mountains and the southern cliff of Gardisoara. In the past, the Lost World plateau was covered by a thick forest that is now partially cleared and that is also crossed by some forestall roads which took away its charm that it once had.
The Lost World plateau hides in the underground a huge net of active galleries, revealed at the surface by the presence of hidden by vegetation dolinas. Two of them are entry gates to the underground through the lime stoned precipices with unique heights in the Romanian patrimony.
• The Avenul Negru precipice (which is 108 meters high), looks like a funnel with a 50 meters as diameter. In the past, when forest were exploited, a considerable amount of logs were thrown in the depths of the precipice, partially closing it.
• The Gemanata precipice has above a natural bridge and is 92 meters high. Its height is interrupted by a log and ice platform, formed at 40 meters and then a well leads to the river that crosses the horizontal gallery that communicates with the net under the Avenul Negru precipice.

Get a Taste of Sunrise!

The Moţi people have known since before Roman times that the crystal clear spring water of the Apuseni was a valuable commodity!   The bottlers of the already famous Miracle Spring mineral water (Izvorul Minunilor) in May 2007 decided to launch a new water, Hera, named after the Greek goddess who regained her virginity from such a spring. European Drinks is the Bottler of Apuseni's Finest Mineral Water

 The Apuseni water is piped 25 kilometres from the well-known Stana de Vale water source in the heart of the Apuseni mountains.   The hundreds of millions of litres of Hera water coming from the Apuseni mountains should hit the European market over the next few years, bringing yet another of Romania's riches to the world.
