Zugreni Gorges
A dramatic Bistrița Valley gorge of rock, water, and forest.
On the Bistrița Valley, Zugreni Gorges change the pace of a day on the road. The river narrows between rock walls, and the road offers views that call for short stops rather than a packed schedule.
Pair it with Vatra Dornei, Dorna Arini, or a stop on the Transrarău road. Check local access and conditions before setting out.
The gorge was carved by the Bistrița River, which narrows the valley between rock and forest. Light changes quickly here, so Zugreni Gorges are best discovered through several short stops rather than one glance from the car.
