Cheile Șugăului, Nature reserve in Neamt County, Romania
The limestone gorge extends for 350 meters through vertical walls, forming a narrow canyon with passages less than 3 meters wide.
The nature reserve gained official protection status in 1971 and received formal recognition through Law No. 5 in 2000 under Romanian jurisdiction.
Local residents traditionally use a handcrafted water agitation system called 'steaza' at the gorge exit for carpet washing activities.
Visitors need appropriate footwear for crossing water streams, and access remains strictly prohibited during rainy periods due to sudden water level increases.
The site contains 17 springs and the largest travertine deposits in the Hasmas Mountains, created by mineral-rich water precipitation over time.
