Beschreibung
Valisoara Gorge is a narrow gorge that stretches for about 3 kilometers and is characterized by its impressive vertical limestone walls, which can reach heights of up to 250 meters. Great place to spot Steinadler, Felsenschwalbe and on a lucky day even the Eastern Rötelschwalbe. Other species include Zippammer, Schwanzmeise, Turmfalke, Wasseramsel, Wanderfalke and Waldlaubsänger.

Zugang
Valisoara Gorge can be approached by car from the south from Aiud city via road 107M or from the north coming from Rimetea. It is located at only 10 km from the Piatra Secuiului, another good birding spot. Best explored on foot.
Allow half day if one visits the panoramic viewpoints located above the Castelul Templul Cavalerilor restaurant or if one decides to explore the marked trails (red dot) that takes you near Coltul Sandului peak, Rachis peak and Coltul Cetate peak than takes you back in a loop to the carpark. Press a P on the map for directions to a parking spot.
