The Fallen Cave
The waterfall is situated on Clocota river, at the entrance of the Geoagiu Băi resort, having a difference of level of almost 20 meters, due to a steep rupture in the terrain. The water washed the roots of some trees from the upper side of the falls, causing them to fall and get partially or totally embedded in the travertine deposits, thus creating successive folds on the entire height of the fall. Layers of moss and hanging plants developed over these folds, giving this waterfall a distinct aspect.
The waters of Clocota river collect all the thermo-mineral springs in the area and, due to their temperature, they are a good environment for thermal water specific plants, and animals such as salamanders (that cannot be found in other areas).
You can reach the waterfall either following Școlii street (a fifteen minute walk from the center of the village), or on the path that leaves the road leading to Geoagiu City (you can see the falls from the road in about 40 minutes).
