#Wander & #Wonder
Together with Florin and Simona, two of the most knowledgeable of these areas, we will make a route of low difficulty (aprox 30 min) to the Bridal Veil waterfall. We leave from the parking lot and from here we take a walk to the waterfall, and then we will discover medicinal and aromatic plants, and also the mushrooms growing in the area.
The Bridal Veil waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Romania. The water fall is over 30 meters. An old legend recalls that the name of the waterfall comes from the fact that long ago a bride would have fallen from the steep cliffs in the area where the waterfall is, and her veil remained hanging on the rocks. There, the wedding guests stopped and began to cry, thus forming the waterfall. In reality, the name could be attributed to the shape of the waterfall that resembles a veil.
