Oltetului Gorges


To be spontaneous means to love, to be inlove with life, to be adventurous but also to be unssettled. This word describes the basic needs of our human being the need to follow your primary instinct so long controlled and educated. Where else can we do this but in the wildlife. A special place in the heart of the mountains is on the one side of the Oltet river called likewise "Oltetului Gorges". The place is picturesque in the middle of the wilderness because it is tore from civilization and one cannot find accommodation or any kind of entertainment besides fishing, camping, swimming, sunbathing or taking photos. The only way you can stay overnight is to take the tent but be careful not to be attacked by the bear. We experienced this but fortunatelly the bear found the rests of our barbecue and then he left peacefully without harming anyone and we wouldn't have known it if the grill hadn't been damaged. The feeling of walking on the dew in the dawn is priceless and it worths the chills over night. Make sure you have warming blankets and someone to share the loneliness and the quietness of the night with. It is the perfect place to go hiking being located between the Parang and Capatanii mountains. If you are passionate of the mountains there are plenty of opportunities to go hiking because in the neighbourhood of the "Oltetului Gorges" there are the Polovragi cave, The Polovragi Monastery, Muierii cave, Iedului cave and Baia de Fier. This location is like a squid with numerous tentacules, it doesn't matter your destination there is always something to see.
