Vălul Miresei Waterfall

One of Transylvania's most stunning waterfalls is Vălul Miresei, sometimes referred to as Rachitele Waterfall. The Vălul Miresei Waterfall, also known as Răchițele after a section of the same-named town that is a part of the commune of Margău, is one of the most stunning waterfalls in Romania and is located on the edge of the Apuseni Mountains Natural Park, in the Stanciului Valley. Its fan-like form provides the appearance of a wedding veil (actually, this is the meaning of its name). The waterfall rises to a height of 34 meters at its peak.

Climbing is done in the region during the winter when the river freezes. According to legend, the waterfall got its name when a bride once fell from the rocks and her veil got trapped between them. The waterfall was created by the sad bride's tears. The more daring can ascend all the way to the top of the falls, where they can be sure of a breathtaking panorama. The little river and Hell's Valley converge at the base of the falls. To ensure you get absolutely stunning photos, Toplist highly advises visiting this waterfall during the rainy season when the debit is higher and the sky is cloudier.
