Seven Ladders Canyon
Canionul Șapte Scări
A narrow limestone canyon near Brașov, climbing seven sections of metal ladders past waterfalls, with a high-ropes zipline at the exit.
Seven Ladders Canyon lies near Timișul de Jos, about 15 km south of Brașov. The canyon is short but very narrow, and the stream forms a chain of small waterfalls within it. Visitors climb up along seven (in fact more) sections of metal ladders and walkways, which are slippery and thrilling but not especially difficult. Above the canyon are a restaurant and a high-ropes zipline. The hike up from the car park or train station takes about 1 hour, and the full visit takes half a day. Tickets are required, and the canyon is usually open only in warmer months. Wear grippy trail-running shoes.
