Excursion at the Bicaz Canyon (Cheile Bicazului), Romania
Reviews > Europe > Romania > Bicaz > Excursion at the Bicaz Canyon (Cheile Bicazului)
by We arrived quite soon to the Bicaz Canyon (in Hungarian is Bekas szoros). I think this place is unique in Romania. The road cuts through the mountains and it's just wide enough for two lanes.
Near the road there was a stream, where you could go down. It was amazing: you are between the mountains, you can even touch the rocks, but the cars are passing near you. Some guys were mountaineering, and the tourists stopped to watch it. After a couple of minutes the group of tourists grew so large that the cars could hardly pass by them. Oh, and a very funny thing: the cars can drive slowly because of the tourists but not just because of them; the locals are still using carts... with one or two "horsepower" you can imagine how fast they run...:)
We could hardly find a parking place. There were no official parking places just the edge of the road. There were bigger places but these were occupied by different vendors.
After spending about an hour here we decided to go further to the Red Lake.

Piatra Neamt Travel guide
One of the biggest paleontological reservations from the country is to be found here. The formation of the paleontological reservation Cozla-Pietricica-Cernegura is linked to the existence of a sea in this area over 60 million years ago. The archaeologists have found between the rocks a great number of fossils that came from fishes and clams that can be seen at the Science Museum of Piatra Neamt. Piatra Neamt is one of the cleanest cities in Europe, and that is one of the reasons why the town has lots of green spaces. You can see all types of vegetation from flowers to bushes and trees in the city’s parks but also in front of the houses... Read more »
