Summary:
Moara Dracului Valley originates in the northern branch of the Bihor Mountains, near Buteasa peak (1,792m). Initially, the valley winds through a wild alpine setting, passing through a fir forest. As it progresses to the lower part of the trail, from the left confluence, the landscape transforms into a rocky and vertical decor. The canyon culminates in an impressive 40-meter waterfall known as Moara Dracului waterfall.
