Vânătările Ponorului, Nature reserve in Apuseni Mountains, Romania.
The reserve features three large dolines reaching depths of 300 meters with natural limestone formations creating an extensive underground network of caves.
The karst complex was first discovered and documented by Nagy Sandor in 1886, leading to extensive geological studies of the area.
Local mountain communities maintain traditional practices of sustainable land use while protecting the natural formations within the reserve.
Visitors can access the site through marked forest trails, with metal stairs installed near the main portal for safe exploration of upper levels.
The reserve contains a system of four cascading waterfalls ranging from 3 to 30 meters in height, flowing through limestone channels.
