Summary:
Coșutelor Valley, which carved the Zgăul Vintilanilor canyon, originates in the Mehedinți mountains and feeds into the Coșuștea stream. With the backdrop of the Mehedinți Mountains, the cut between the slopes reveals a steep, continuous terrain almost till the confluence. Despite its initial impression of a steep valley with many drops, the river bed surprises with an invigorating landscape among the steep limestone slopes making it a true canyon worth exploring.
