Waiting for the rain - Ampoita, Trascau Mts., Romania

Situated only 10 km (6 miles) from Alba Iulia, the Ampoita valley is a heaven for mountain climbers and trekkers as well. The path trough the mountains goes along the course of Ampoita river. The river carved this beautiful landscape trough the calcareous rock and brought with it sediments in which trees and plants caught root. Milions of years of ecological process resulted in this natural wonder that we can enjoy, unfortunately, just for some decades..



...and then, was rain. Clouds started forming over the valley. Mountain clouds, form quickly and vanish as well. The weather is very unpredictable because of the termic inversions and watercourse airflows. It's always good to have a raincoat or a tent...



...and boots. You'll find it irresistible not to climb on the rocks. This will be of great help when you climb. A rope is unnecessary because the terrain permits you to reach the summit of the cliff using just your hands and feet. It's a bit tricky but when you get there, you know it was worth doing it. Up there, you feel you can touch the sky. Magnificent I tell you, truly magnificent

Well well.. I got up here. But does anybody here how do I get down?
