Admire the narcissus field nearby

One of the largest narcissus fields in Romania lies on a 5-hetacre protected area. 180-200 easily identifiable star-shaped narcissus flowers can be found here on every square meter. The plant blooms at the end of April-beginning of May. The locals have been organizing the narcissus festival at the end of May every year ever since 1976, rendering it more diverse by cultural and traditional shows and activities.

Grazing and mowing still occurs on the protected field. The number of flowers is constantly decreasing due to the harmful human interventions and the excessive picking of this protected plant.

Pay a visit to the Almas cave

A 4 km hosszúságú Vargyas-szorost a Hargita-hegységből eredő Vargyas-pataka alakította ki, áttörve az itt található mészkőtömbön. Az évezredek folyamán öt jól elhatárolható szinten több mint száz, kisebb-nagyobb barlang alakult ki a szorosban. Az ötödik szint jelenleg is alakulóban levő, aktív barlang.

Az Almási-barlang a szurdokban a legnagyobb és legismertebb. Az itt talált emberi és állatmaradványok, különböző eszközök, régészeti leletek tanúsága szerint már a paleolitikumban lakott hely volt.
