Speleology in Gârda de Sus

Discover the fascinating and mysterious world beneath us - push your limits by conquering the darkness!

The Apuseni Mountains are home to thousands of caves of the most diverse shapes and sizes, adorned with spectacular formations, crisscrossed by underground rivers, horizontally or vertically developed, with dizzying gorges; a mysterious and fascinating underworld.

We love speleology and want to bring it closer to the curious and the daring, both through guided tours in speleological caves and through initiation in the technique of alpine speleology, which allows the safe exploration of vertically developed caves.

We provide specialized guidance, detailed explanations of the area, the cave and how it was formed, helmet and headlight, necessary technical equipment, and participants should bring wet resistant clothing, rubber boots and gloves, curiosity and willingness to get dirty, climb, or crawl.

We pursue the satisfaction of conquering the darkness and pushing our own limits.

The choice of paths we take depends on the structure and effort capacity of the groups we guide, and the options are very wide. We feel "at home" in the Pădurea Craiului mountains, the Padiș karstic plateau, the Bihor mountains but also in other karstic areas.

Location: Gârda de Sus
