Șugău Gorges
Cheile Șugăului
A small, wild gorge east of Bicaz Gorge, where a stream runs through narrow rock crevices, with Munticelu Cave nearby.
Șugău Gorges lie near the village of Bicaz-Cheiu, a deep, narrow valley cut by a tributary of the Bicaz River. The trail runs for just over 1 km beside the stream, with wooden bridges, rock walls and small waterfalls. It draws far fewer visitors than the main gorge, making it a quiet hike away from the traffic. Nearby is Munticelu Cave (Peștera Munticelu), a small limestone cave within the protected area. The path involves wading and is slippery, so wear non-slip footwear. Do not enter after rain, when water levels rise.
