Sintesi:
The "Ogașul Slacini" stream, a right tributary of the Cerna River, has formed the Vânturătoarea Waterfall, located in the Cerna Mountains. Although the canyon has only 5 abseils, it reaches its peak with an impressive waterfall nearly 80 meters high, with a rebelay on the wall where the water falls freely for the last 40 meters. This gives it the reputation of having the highest free-falling waterfall in the entire country. Even the daring individuals who descend first to the rebelay feel the thrill of the challenge.
