4.5 (5 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Dambovita County Geologic Formations
"Movie set" and one of the nicest canyons in Romania. Beware of the horn vipers
The Sohodol Canyon (Cheile Sohodolului) is something like 20 kilometers from Targu Jiu city and it is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Gorj county. Great landscape, some nice little caves and a lot of photo oportunities. Also in a small cave it is arranged an orthodox altar. You can visit this place by climbing a few stairs. Another attraction of the Canyon is the "stone ring", a round hole in the mountain rock. It is a place of legend and favored by the locals to take engagement or wedding pictures. If you decide to climb the cliffs beware where you put your foot or hand because you can get into a horn viper, the most venomous snakes in Romania. The Sohodol Canyon is also appreciated by a lot of Romanian movie lovers. Here were filmed some well-known scenes from the Romanian adventure movie "The Yellow Rose" (Trandafirul Galben), from 1982.

Must see
Absolutely spectacular! A must see. Narrow road so pay attention to the traffic, which is not bad even in weekend.

Trip to the landscape of lady ring
Without no guide is hard to find the place in the winter time. But the best for daring lovers of wildlife , some of the most spectacular scenery on the quay you can find winter. It is a short trip about 1h30' walking (4 km), up on hill, with a gorgeous view.
