Summary:
The valley that formed the Pârâul Rău canyon originates from the southeast of Peak Dușilor (1,531 m) and is a right tributary of the Cormaia river, located in Rodnei Mountains National Park. With a total of 18 abseils, the route runs under the cool shade of trees that continuously forest the valley, a blessing on hot summer days.
