The Ocolis Valley, Posaga Valley, Scarita-Belioara Reservation

30km from Turda, in the Aries Valley, towards the north in the heart of the mountains, you are awaited by a world that has been unchanged for more than 100 years.

The charm and beauty of this place is complemented by the warmth and hospitality of its inhabitants. Here you can see how people worked in times past, you can help prepare traditional food, and during holidays you can witness something truly special.

The most important tourist sites in the regions are: the wooden Posaga Monastery, Posaga Gorge, Runcu Gorge, Pociovalista Gorge, the Vulture’s Crag, Casa Zmeului Cave and the Scarita-Belioara geo-botanical reservation (over 1350m in altitude, numerous rare species of plants and animals).
