Summary:
Located on the northern edge of the Trascău Mountains, the Tureni Canyon is a dry valley descending from the upper plateau down to the Racilor Valley, intersecting at its base a grade A via ferrata route. Although it lacks any permanent water flow, the canyon features an attractive section composed of four abseiling zones that are easily accessible and of low difficulty, set within a spectacular limestone landscape and offering an exit along the via ferrata route.
