Bicaz Gorge together with Red Lake, are one of the most important tourist attractions in Romania. Both are located in Hasmas Mountains, in the Bicaz Gorge - Hasmas National Park. The gorge is in the north-central part of the Eastern Carpathians, at the boundary between the counties Harghita and Neamt. The gorge has a length of 8 km. It is limited to west by Red Lake (983 m altitude) and to the east by Bicazu Ardelean village (600m altitude). The gorge is crossed by route DN12C, linking Moldova (Bicaz town) and Transylvania (Gheorgheni town). Red Lake and Bicaz Gorge make up a reservation of national interest (geology, water, fauna, flora and landscape). Gorge were formed by the Bicaz River (coming out of Red Lake) who digging a towering gorge in Mesozoic limestones. In places, the gorge were formed by the collapse of underground voids ceiling. Bicaz Gorge is crossed by a modernized road cut into the rock that winds beneath the vertical walls. Often the walls are in overhang and frequently the serpentines are very close, in cascade. The serpentines in the central part of gorge are dominated by an imposing rock, Altar Stone (1,120m), prior to 1990, instead of the cross, having a proletarian star on top. The auto traffic in Bicaz Gorge is permanently open, but heavy goods traffic is banned. In 2005 was inaugurated a new tunnel which has 155 m long, 9.80 m wide and 7.80 m high, allowing two lanes and sidewalks. In the gorge, on the major tributaries of the Bicaz River, forming in turn, secondary gorge, but very beautiful. Gorge and Red Lake area is crossed by many tourist paths, climbing and mountaineering. Gorge impresses with its grandeur and wild, some areas bearing significant names: Hell Neck, Large Serpentines, Altar Stone, Stone Mary, Bardocz Wall, Tarnatul Hell, Black Tower Bridge Hungarians, Surduc Stone, Tower Guard, Tent Stone, Reserve, Lost World etc. The Red Lake resortis near the Bicaz Gorge. Red Lake was formed by the collapse of a mountain slope in the earthquake of January 23, 1838. Landslide barred Bicaz River, flooding the forest whose trees are seen today awash. On the lake, we can see boats floating through the former treetops forest.
Cheile Bicazului, împreună cu Lacu Roşu, învecinat, reprezintă una din cele mai importante atracţii turistice naturale ale României. Ambele sunt situate Parcul Naţional Cheile Bicazului – Hăşmaş, în Munţii Hăşmaş Cheile se găsesc în partea central-nordică a Carpaţilor Orientali, la limita dintre judeţele Harghita şi Neamţ. Cheile au o lungime de 8 km şi sunt limitate în partea de sus de Lacu Roşu (altitudine 983 m, format în ziua de 23 ianuarie 1838 în urma unui cutremur), iar în partea de jos de localitatea Bicazul Ardelean (600 m altitudine). Sunt străbătute de DN12c care leagă Moldova (oraşul Bicaz) de Transilvania (oraşul Gheorgheni). Cheile Bicazului şi Lacu Roşu alcătuiesc o rezervaţie de interes naţional (rezervaţie naturală de tip geologic, acvatic, faunistic, floristic şi peisagistic). Cheile s-au format prin săparea de către Râul Bicaz (care iese din Lacu Roşu) a unui impozant defileu în calcare mezozoice, pe alocuri chiar prin prăbuşirea tavanului golurilor subterane. Cheile sunt străbătute de un drum modernizat săpat în piatră care şerpuieşte fie pe sub pereţii verticali, deseori în surplombă şi frecvent în serpentine foarte strânse, în cascadă. În partea centrală, drumul trece şi printr-un tunel lung de 155 m, fiind accesibil în orice anotimp (este interzis traficului greu de marfă). Masivul calcaros este dominat de Vârful Suhardul Mare (1506 m). Serpentinele din partea centrală a cheilor sunt dominate de o stâncă impozantă, Piatra Altarului (1.120m), având în vârf o stea înainte de anul 1990, iar acum o cruce. În chei sau în zona lor sunt mai multe peşteri. În zona cheilor, afluenţi importanţi ai Râului Bicaz (Lapoş, Şugăului, Bicajel) formează la rândul lor, chei secundare, dar foarte frumoase. Zona Cheilor şi a Lacului Roşu sunt străbătute de numeroase trasee turistice marcate și trasee de escaladă şi alpinism. Defileul impresionează prin măreţie şi sălbăticie, anumite zone purtând nume semnificative: Gâtul Iadului, Serpentinele Mari, Piatra Altarului, Piatra Maria, Peretele Bardócz, Tărnaţul Iadului, Turnul Negru, Podul Maghiarilor, Piatra Surducului, Turnul de Pază, Cortul de Piatră, Rezervaţia, Lumea Pierdută etc.

Hitchhiking Romania's Bicaz Canyon (Cheile Bicazului)

While hitchhiking to Piatra Neamt I pass through Bicaz Canyon, also known as The Bicaz Keys (Cheile Bicazului.) At one of the thinnest passages, it almost looks like the Carpathian Mountains will swallow our little car whole.

Bicaz Gorge - Romania

Bicaz Gorges is one of the most attractive tourist areas in the country. Located in the central part of the Hasmas Mountains, belonging to the Oriental Carpathians and bounded to the north and northwest by the Suhardul Mare (1506 m) and to the southeast by the Suhardul Mic (1352 m), connecting the Neamt and Harghita counties. The Bicaz Gorges have a length of 8 km, stretching between the Lacu Rosu resort and the Bicazul Ardelean village and connecting Transylvania with Moldova.

This film was made on the trans-Carpathian road DN12C, a road connecting Gheorgheni de Bicaz.
Bicaz Gorges are part of Cheile Bicazului National Park - Hasmas, which has as protected areas: Red Lake, Bicaz Gorges, Suga Lake, Hasmasul Mare - Lonely Stone and Black Hasmasul.

The construction of the narrow road, designed to defeat the relief with a spectacular series of serpentines, began in 1912. From the initial destination of the military road, it later reached one of the most important crossing points between Transylvania and Moldova, accentuating his role by the recent launch of the new tunnel.

All the way from Bicaz Gorges is made of serpentines of great beauty. Eight miles of tall vertical rocks so close to each other that no sun rays can penetrate them, they make up the keys. Both sides of the narrow valley are guarded by rocks of 300-400 m. The limestone walls of the rocks hide caves (Black Cave, Cascade Cave) and avene (Licas, Avenul).

Along the way you can admire the Altar Stone - a rocky massif of 1120 m altitude, the rocky massifs Piatra Pintestilor (847 m) and the Stone Arsitei (835 m). Among other more special cliffs in the area we mention Piatra Surducului, Stone Gate and Bardos Policies.

Prior to the Bicajel spill in Bicaz, there was an unfinished bridge, which was called the Bridge of Unglars, started in the 1940s. Initially the bridge was designed to bypass the most dangerous part of the keys, the Door of the Ladder, but could not end due to the war. On the left side of the bridge, the Bardos wall is raised with the Santinela from the Gatul of the Ladd. From the spilling of the Bicajel river begins the most spectacular area of the 800 m long, the Gatul lui Ladului, which squeezes between the Surduc Stone and the Bardos wall

The gills were formed by erosion of less hard mesozoic limestone. The association of the differently colored and varied types of rocks on the Bicazu Ardelean - Lacu Rosu route makes the great split of Bicaz Valley one of the most remarkable tourist routes in the Carpathians. Keys are guarded by the heights: The Killer, The Altar Stone (Tower of Bardos), Suhard. On some rocks there are routes for climbing.
