Under the guise of a walk through the forest guided by the Alunița squirrel, the route is similar to that of Buila-Vânturarița, the focus being, of course, on the natural specificities of the Jiu Valley.

Walkers are invited through 11 information panels to learn stories about the deciduous forests of the Jiu Valley, elements of the households in the area, details about orchards and pollination of trees or elements that distinguish the gorges from a gorge, or trees from each other.

The trail has been specially designed for children in grades IV to VI. But any nature lover is welcome on the trail, which can be walked even in winter, especially as this national park remains a little explored and promoted area beyond the monasteries in the gorge.

Author’s recommendation

Nature here has a special autumn charm. The forest is predominantly deciduous and will be brightly coloured and the carpets of leaves will delight children.
