Seven steps of water

The canyon was cut by the Șapte Scări brook in the Piatra Mare massif. It is about 160 m long and around 58 m deep. The name comes from the seven rock steps, between about 2.5 and 15 m high, which become waterfalls when the brook's flow rises. The steps are climbed on ladders, without climbing equipment.

The zip line

Next to the canyon there is a zip line, with a full route, a half route and zip lines for children. The length of the route is given differently from one source to another, so check the details on the official website.
