2.Small-Group Day Trip to the Epic 7 Ladders Canyon from Brasov

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 64 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $78

A small-group hike to Canionul Sapte Scari from Brasov, with ladders, bridges, waterfalls, and flexible return routes in about 5 hours.

“I really enjoyed this trip; you walk for about 45 minutes to get to the canyon. It's not a particularly challenging walk, it's a steady uphill and is uneven in places. The canyon itself doesn't take very long to get through, but it's fun going up the ladders alongside waterfalls (be prepared to get a little wet and the rungs on the ladders can also be a bit slippy, so wear proper walking shoes with decent grip!) You can then either walk back down, or zipline you way back to the bottom for I think about another 100Lei. The scenery is really pretty and our guide was excellent.”

It was raining, so we decided not to do the gorge hike; Joseph offered a tour of a local fort in exchange. I'm so glad we did that - we got to see Roman ruins and Hapsburg architecture. I would definitively recommend this if you have a day to devote to the tour.”
