Cheile Vălișoarei, Nature reserve in Apuseni Mountains, Romania
The limestone gorges of Cheile Vălișoarei extend across 20 hectares within the Trascău Mountains, featuring walls that rise 354 meters above the road level.
The thirteenth-century Zedecheu fortress once stood on the right side of the gorges, although no physical evidence remains at the current archaeological site.
Local communities maintain traditional practices and folklore connected to the geological formations known as colturi, including Bogza, Cetatii, and Sandului peaks.
Visitors can access the reserve via the DJ 107M road connecting Aiud and Buru, with regular bus services available from the town of Aiud.
The reserve contains ten educational panels along its hiking trails, providing information about the local biodiversity and geological formations at different elevations.
