Cheile Sohodolului, Nature reserve in Runcu, Romania
The Sohodol Gorges extend over 12 kilometers through limestone formations in the Vâlcan Mountains between Runcu village and Poiana Contului.
The natural reserve, spanning 350 hectares, received protected status through Law Number 5 of March 6, 2000, safeguarding its geological formations.
The Sohodol Gorges gained recognition as a filming location for the Romanian movie 'Margelatul', featuring actor Florin Piersic in the main role.
The area contains 120 designated climbing routes of varying difficulty levels, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced climbers.
The geological formation called Nările features water-carved limestone resembling human nostrils, created through thousands of years of erosion.
