Vadu Crișului Gorge & Cave
Defileul Crișului Repede / Peștera Vadu Crișului
A gorge carved by the Crișul Repede River through the Apuseni Mountains, with a cave whose entrance has a waterfall. Routes along the river include walking trails and a scenic train.
The Crișul Repede River has cut a limestone gorge about 10 km long near Vadu Crișului. A cave in the gorge has a waterfall pouring from its entrance. Visitors can enter about 700 meters with a guide to see stalagmites and an underground river. A riverside path and a railway both run through the gorge, and both are scenic whether you travel by train or on foot. Cave tickets cost about 20 lei and the cave is open in summer. The site is about 60 km from Oradea and can be reached by train to the station of the same name.
