Would be a lot better with spring flow.
Access: If the river is low, you can park directly across from the canyon and wade the river. But if the canyon is high enough to be interesting, you need to park further downstream at a campsite where a bridge gets you across the river. Then follow a hiking trail running along the river bank on river right.]]>Drăstănic: Canyon Start2025-06-12: Not very interesting, a few nice raps. Would be a lot better with spring flow.
Tour: The upper part of the canyon is enclosed and pretty but very short, just three rappels. There are one or two more decent waterfalls lower down, plus river walking.]]>Drăstănic: Canyon End2025-06-12: Not very interesting, a few nice raps.

Very few waterfalls, very little gorge, mostly just scrambling / hiking down a water course that gets drier as you descend. ]]>Țăsna: Canyon Start2025-06-11: Don't bother, unless it has spring flows and you have nothing else to do.

Approach: Long uphill hike (with lovely views higher up) and long approach along a tree strewn river bed.
Tour: A beautiful central waterfall, where it is important to find the re-belay - well to the side on river left. All the water disappears 2/3 of the way down into a water pipe. ]]>Turcinu Mare: Canyon End2025-06-14: Lovely views on the hike.
