Walk No. 18 - The Windy Waterfall

You arrive to Cluj Napoca airport. You will have a FREE guided tour in the city, depending on your flight hours. Transfer to Baile Herculane where you will spend the night.

This path takes you tot he highest waterfall of the region. It is a 40 m free fall, so when the weather is windy, the water is often blown away, that is the origin of the name. You start out with a steep climb, as is the case of most hikes in The Cerna Valley. After a while the path becomes less steep, but still rocky and bumpy. The last section is comparatively easy. After like 45 minutes you catch a glimpse of the Falls, perched high between two scenic rock faces. From here on it is a very easy walk. This is one of the rare waterfalls where you can walk behind. It is a unique experience to walk under the mighty rocks and the roaring waterfall, so make sure you don’t miss out this hike!

(Duration 3 h. Distance: 3 km. Height difference: 350 m up, 350 m down. It can easily be combined with walk no. 15. and walk no. 14.)
