Zirgu ūdenskritums.  Borsa 23 km 25 min  

Known as Cascada Cailor, Horses Waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Romania with a total height of 80 m (262 ft) split over several steps, the highest being 18 m (59) tall. Acording to an ancient legend, the name of the waterfall comes from a fact that occured here centuries ago. It seems that during a storm a herd of horses was cornered by a bear on the brink of the abyss where the waterfall starts. Because of poor visibility and being extremly frightened, the horses jumped in the abyss, thus dying. The waterfall is located in Piatra Rea Natural reserve, 3 km (1.8 miles) away from Borsa Resort at an elevation of 1300 m (4265 ft). The waterfall is formed on Fantana (“Well” in Romanian) creek and springs from Podul Cailor plateau. The best ways to reach the waterfall are from Borsa Resort and from Rodna mountains peak line. Those coming from Borsa Resort can follow the trail marked with red triangle (2-3 h) or they can take the ski-lift and follow the same trail for one kilometer. This second option allows tourists to visit the attraction even in the winter time, when all the water is frozen, presenting a different but impressive image of the waterfall.

ACCESS TO HORSES WATERFALL

As unbelievable as it seems, access is very easy, whether you choose to walk from Borsa, on a path, or a more comfortable route, by chairlift, from the Borsa resort.

If you choose the second option, the chairlift, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that from the chairlift drop-off place, you have only about a 15-minute walk left. It is important to know that the chairlift does not leave if the group of people doesn’t exceed 10-15 people, so ideally, you should take this trip with your group of friends, so as not to wait longer than necessary for the appropriate number of people to come together.

Additionally, it is also good to know that the last chairlift leaves at 5:00 PM, so if you do not reach the upper end of the chairlift route on time, the only other way to get off the mountain is walking, which may not be recommended at night.

MUD VOLCANOES. 45.35, 26.716667 

In recent years, the Mud Volcanoes located in Berca, Buzau County, have become a frequented tourist destination and probably the most famous geological monument in Romania. The strange scenery of the cracked clay, the various colors of the “lava” emerged from the clay, transformed the place into a natural studio for photographic essays, decoration for SF film productions, fashion editorials and advertising clips. For photographers, it’s a generous subject and, to some extent, easy: it’s hard not to take good pictures of active volcanoes, even if they are not real. For many, the mud volcanoes are very similar to an eerie lunar landscape. 

The Berca Mud Volcanoes (Romanian: Noroioși de la Pâclele Mici) is a geological and botanical reservation located in Scorțoasa commune close to Berca in Buzău County in Romania. Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few metres high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases. 

As the gases erupt from 3000 metres deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.

The reservation is unique in Romania. Elsewhere in Europe, similar phenomena can be observed in Italy (northern Apennines and Sicily), Ukraine (in the Kerch Peninsula), Russia (in the Taman Peninsula) as well as Azerbaijan.

The Living Fires of Lopătari, Buzău are among the most mysterious, and unusual, phenomena you may find in nature, and an often missed wonder of Romania. Just off a hiking path, well within your reach, is this source of wonder that bred many local superstitions.

A natural phenomenon generated by the gases that blow out the cracks of the earth, which ignite spontaneously, the flames can reach 50 to 100 centimeters in height.

One of the many miraculous places of Romania, this landmark was once unknown for tourists since authorities once totally neglected the Living Fires of Lopătari. More recently, a lot has changed to bring not only enthusiastic mountaineers to the area but more typical visitors. The Geopark “Land of Buzău” also elevated knowledge of these geological miracles.

Situated 56 km from the city of Buzău, the county seat of Buzău County in the historical region of Wallachia, you’ll find the commune Lopătari. In one of the villages of this commune, Terca, there are the Living Fires (in Romanian: Focurile Vii) – a natural phenomenon, unique in Europe, but not unique to Romania. You’ll find a similar one, considered even more spectacular by some travelers, at Andreiaşu, a commune in Vrancea County, in the historical region of Moldovia, north of Buzău; and one in Reghiu commune, Vrancea, in the village of Răiuţi – only 8.5 km north of Andreiaşu.

Although the Living Fires of Andreiaşu occupy the most extensive area (400 m²), the Living Fires of Buzău are more popular with tourists, as they are situated close to other interesting natural attractions in the county, including the Muddy volcanoes, the amber from Colti, the Salt from Meledic, the petroleum springs, salty springs, and so on.

The natural emanations of gas are lit at the surface, under the rays of the sun. The fires burn at night as well, when the scenery is at its most spectacular display. At times you can see a flame rising up to 1 m into the wind above the ground.

To reach the place, drive through the city of Buzău, on the route Mărăcineni–Sapoca-Manzalesti-Lopătari-Terca (the GPS coordinates are N 45.53578 E 26.54857). If you drive through Berca, it’s better to use a four-wheel-drive vehicle. In fact, it’s good to have a good car to drive from Lopătari to Terca anyway. Prepare for a hike as well: the car cannot take you to the Fires. You have to cross a handmade wooden bridge, that looks ancient and wobbly. Then the road takes you on uneven terrain up the hill, on a hike that, although not difficult, it could be pure torture after the rain (mud and all). Below, the terrain map of the area

Colti dzintara muzejs 

Colti is a commune in Buzau County, Romania, 13 kilometers away from Patarlagele town. The commune is special not only for its old houses, churches, monasteries or its secular trees but for amber, the valuable euosmite (a fossil resin).

Amber Museum was built by the inhabitants of Colti in the ’70s and opened in June 1980. The building is similar to a peasant’ house, with three floors: the underground floor, the ground floor and the first floor. The ground floor consists of three rooms where is located the amber collection, crystal clusters, rocks, fossils and tourmalines (gemstone). The yellow amber is a semiprecious stone resulted from the organic fossilization of some pine resins, tens of million years ago.

Meledic Plateau is a natural mixed reservation located in the Sub Carpathian area of ??Curvature, on the territory of Manzalesti and Lopatari, Buzau County. The Meledic plateau is situated 600 meters high and it is made up of clays and roofing slates on the top of a salt massif. The surface of the plateau is approximately 67, 50 hectares and it is a geological reservation in the custody of the Ecology University in Bucharest.

The plateau’ micro relief consists of single or twin sinkholes extremely broad and deep (up to 25 meters) with steep slopes, deep ditches cut in salt and clay, deep ravines and 34 caves.  This geographical area was declared a geological, speleological, botanical and zoological reserve protected by law and covers an area of ??approximately 136 hectares. One can admire here numerous attractions both for researchers and for travelers, such as salt hills, canyons, caves, lakes, wooden statues and a specific fauna consisting of species which include scorpions or turtles. The Meledic plateau is a geomorphic reserve of great scientific, aesthetic and touristic complexity.

The Ceahlău Massif (pronounced [tʃe̯ahˈləw]) is one of the most famous mountains of Romania.[1] It is part of the Bistrița Mountains range of the Eastern Carpathians division, in Neamț County, in the Moldavia region. The two most important peaks are Toaca (1904 m altitude) and Ocolașul Mare (1907 m altitude). It is bounded to the east by the river Bistrița and Lake Bicaz, to the south by the river Bicaz. From the south, the main access point is the village of Izvorul Muntelui, located 12 km north from the town of Bicaz. To the north, Mount Ceahlău is also accessible from Durău. Mount Ceahlău is a popular hiking destination in Romania. There are seven main marked trails built for hikers and tourists.[2] There are entering fees for visiting Ceahlău National Park.[3] and fines for non respecting park's regulations.[3] The park is monitored by local rangers and there is also a mountain rescue service (Salvamont).

Detunatele is a site of columnar jointing in Alba County, Transylvania, Romania. Detunatele means lightning strike. The columns are made of hexagonal-shaped basalt and are 1,258 metres (4,127 ft) tall on two peaks: Detunata Goală and Detunata Flocoasă (Barren Detunata and Shaggy Detunata).

The two peaks are located in the Metaliferi Mountains and are a tourist attraction. They are 1.5 km (0.93 mi) apart. The formations are shaped like humps and there are stories and legends associated with them.[1] They are considered to be two of the most beautiful peaks in the Apuseni Mountains.

The Lake Izvorul Muntelui, also known as Lake Bicaz, is the largest artificial lake on the interior waters of Romania; it was created after the completion of a dam built on the river Bistrița. The dam is located a few kilometers north of the town of Bicaz.

The dam was built between 1950 and 1960 and is used to generate hydroelectricity at the Bicaz-Stejaru Hydroelectric Power Station. It has a height of 127 m (417 ft), a length of 435 m (1,427 ft), and a maximum width of 119 m (390 ft). The lake has a length of 40 km (25 mi), an area of 31 km2 (12 sq mi) and a maximum volume of 1,250 billion m³.

The lake is a tourist destination in the region, especially in summertime, when visitors take the ferryboat from the Bicaz port for a short trip on the lake, and to view Mount Ceahlău on the west shore.
