Beskrivning
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 kungsörn, klippsvala and on a lucky day even the Eastern Rostgumpsvala. Other species include klippsparv, stjärtmes, tornfalk, strömstare, Pilgrimsfalk and grönsångare.
