Grădiştea Muncelului-Cioclovina Natural Park, Natural protected area in Șureanu Mountains, Romania.

Grădiștea Muncelului-Cioclovina Natural Park covers 38,184 hectares in the Șureanu Mountains of the Southern Carpathians. Within its boundaries lie six reserves: the Ponorâci-Cioclovina karst complex, Tecuri Cave, Șura Mare Cave, Crivadia Canyon, the Ohaba-Ponor fossil site, and Bolii Cave. The terrain includes forests, pastures, valleys, karst areas, caves, and canyons.

The Romanian government designated this territory as a protected natural park in 2000 under Law Number 5. This legal designation created formal guidelines to preserve the area and manage how it is used going forward.

The park contains Sarmizegetusa Regia and other ancient Dacian citadels recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. These archaeological remains shape how visitors experience the landscape while walking through forested hills and mountain valleys.

Exploring the park's many caves requires specialized guides and proper equipment, with some caves like the Disease Cave having restricted public access. Visitors should prepare for uneven, steep terrain and bring appropriate gear for mountain conditions.

The park's six reserves include the Ponorâci-Cioclovina Karstic Complex, Tecuri Cave, Șura Mare Cave, Bolii Cave, Crivadia Canyon and the Ohaba-Ponor fossil site. The park also holds the UNESCO-listed Dacian sites of Sarmizegetusa Regia, Costești, Blidaru and Luncani-Piatra Roșie.
