Geocache Description:


Clocota Waterfall: if you arrived in Geoagiu, you are in the northeastern part of Hunedoara County, on the border with Alba County. You are surrounded by semi-wooded hills, which surround the depression formed by the southern branches of the Metaliferi Mountains, and you are at an altitude of just over 200 meters.

Once here, you will undoubtedly go to the thermal baths, you will visit the old "Roman Baths", the Outlaws Grotto, but we also invite you to take a short walk to the Cascada Clocota. (The Boiling Waterfall).

The warm waterfall is located on the river bearing the same name, at the entrance of the resort of Geoagiu-Băi. Apa The water of Clocota gathers all the thermo-mineral springs in the area. 20 meters high, Clocota Waterfall comes down on geological strata, like a curtain of white light. Whole trees have been washed away, under the constant flow of water, and on the travertine wall you will see a very rich vegetation (moss and all kinds of flowing plants), loving water and heat. The old name of the locality was Germisara ("germ" = heat, "sara" = water, water fall). The curious that who will take a moment to look at the surrounding nature may see small live "jewels", rare salamanders, extraordinary coloured but very shy. :)

How to get to the waterfall:

1. from the center of the resort going on Strada Şcolii (School Street). (15 minutes). - This is the only way we took to visit the first and only time and this is the one we're recommending.

2. on the path that descends from the road that leads to Geoagiu. (30-40 minutes).
