Bicaz Gorge, Neamţ and Harghita Counties, Romania
The Bicaz Gorge, known locally as Cheile Bicazului, is a gorge located in north east Romania in the Eastern Carpathians group of the Carpathian Mountains. It is the deepest gorge in the country and connects the historical regions of Moldova and Transylvania. It was created by the River Bicaz and it is one of the most breathtaking natural attractions in Romania. The Bicaz Gorge is included within the Cheile Bicazului-Hășmaș National Park.
The DN12C road runs through the Bicaz Gorge and is one of the most scenic drives in Romania. The gorge twists and turns steeply uphill for 5 miles with hairpin bends and deep drops and cuts through sheer 985 feet high limestone cliffs. At one point, the narrow mountain road runs uncomfortably beneath the overhanging rocks in a section known as Gâtul Iadului (“the neck of hell”). Beyond the cliffs there are spruce and beech forests and upland grazing pastures.
