Pruncea Waterfall

The Pruncea Waterfall, which is six meters high, lies tucked away in the Siriu Hills on the steep slopes of Podul Calului (Bridge of the Horse). You will come upon a distinctive natural setting with lush vegetation and waterfalls a few kilometers down the mountain route. The Siriului Dam is 5 kilometers from Pruncea Waterfall (also known as Cascada Caşoca, from the name of the mother river). And it's simple to get there: just turn right along the road heading to Cabana 14 Scaune two kilometers before the dam, then travel another two kilometers down the Cașoca River until you arrive at the waterfall.

Pruncea is a little waterfall that is just 5 meters high, but because of the surrounding wilderness, it has a unique appeal. Additionally, there is a mythology that centers on the cunning bandit Negoiță Gheorghelaș, a local version of Robin Hood who served in the armies of the illustrious Tudor Vladimirescu. Prior to giving the items to the poor or splitting them with his outlaws' brothers, Gheorghelaş used to rob the local landowners and hide the stolen things in the cave near Pruncea waterfall. Squire Macovei tricked Gheorghelaş into falling from a cliff close to the waterfall.
