Șușara waterfall

The Șușara waterfall, another stunning natural feature in the Caras county, can be found on the shortest route (blue cross), which leads from Sasca Montană down the Usara River. Approximately 40 minutes of standard walking, with one stretch that is a little trickier since you have to balance on a wall (to avoid falling into the river water, 20 cm deep). However, keep an eye out for vipers since you could come across one lazing in the sun on a rock. The two-step waterfall is roughly 15 meters high, and the water trickles down the moss-covered green rock into a clean pool. You may add Usara to a lengthier trip that takes almost 4 hours, passes through Cracu Porcului and La Scaune, and ends at Dracului Lake.

Because the trail is rather straightforward, while being steep in certain places, the main activities it provides are climbing and hiking. In the direction of Cărbunari, the route begins right outside Sasca Montană. You arrive at the Uşara Creek right away, and the walk goes along its banks all the way to the waterfall. It's pleasant to cool down in the waterfalls' water after a grueling hike; the rich foliage keeps the water flowing even in the height of heat. Along the way, you will also see some old watermills. Consider bringing some strong hiking boots or even a pair of sneakers because the path has some slippery areas.
