Cheile Lăpușului, Nature reserve in Maramureș County, Romania.
The Lăpuș Gorges extend for 25 kilometers through limestone cliffs and crystalline schists, forming deep canyons and rocky precipices along the Lăpuș River.
Established as a protected area in 1994 and officially declared in 2000, the reserve maintains geological formations dating back to early geological periods.
The area connects multiple villages where residents maintain traditional farming methods and crafts, contributing to the preservation of Maramureș regional identity.
The reserve offers marked trails between Răzoare and Remecioara villages, with spring and autumn providing optimal conditions for nature observation.
The gorges house the yellow-bellied toad, a protected species included in the IUCN Red List, among diverse flora and fauna within the Natura 2000 network.
