Grădina Zmeilor - Dragon's Garden



Location: Sălaj, north from Jibou, in the 'town' of Gâlgăul Almaşului, a rusty mark with the name 'Grădina Zmeilor' barely indicates to the left. After some meters of track, some cliffs show off above the surrounding hills.
Those cliffs have forest a
bove and under them, looking like some dragons(it's obvious). There's a lodge somewhere there, and from that lodge a track gets right in the forest. After 20 minutes of climbing, you reach the cliffs altitude and state that it was worth the effort. That high point reveals the surrounding zone, and more 'dragons' appear over there. The cliff's top is wooded and if you are lucky you can find mushrooms in no time. The cliff's content is the limestone, also in some places they are slippery (especially on the sides, boo!) and the track continues along all the rocks, and then climbs down around and brings you back from where you started( includes a nice slalom through the rocks separated of the others).
It makes a nice track to go on, with beautiful surroundings and a very,very slippery moss - don't fall victim to it! :)
