Olt - Olt Gorge
Romanian landmark in Olt county
The Olt Gorge, the longest gorge in Romania (70 km from Turnu Roșu to Cozia), was carved by the river through the Carpathian Mountains. The sandstone and limestone cliffs 200 m high, the rock-cut monasteries, the railways clinging to the rock walls and the spectacular road make the gorge one of the most beautiful routes in Romania.
