The Jiet Gorge can be found between the Parang Mountains. In the gorge you will find the main road which will take you to Obarsia Lotrului from where you can continue your journey on the famous and well known TransAlpina road.

The Ranger’s Waterfall

The Ranger’s Waterfall or Dusul Padurarului in Romanian is located in the Jiet Gorge right next to the main road. This is a small waterfall but to be honest its pretty charming. If you plan to capture this natural beauty from different angles, you will find a path which will take you next to the Jiet river.
