Saharna Waterfall
The Saharna waterfall · 15-20 minutes through the forest, with the cliff monastery on the way, crowded in the afternoon
The hour-and-a-half circular route through the forest, with the waterfall and the cliff monastery, early in the morning
Worth it for a short forest hike to the waterfall and the cliff monastery, spectacular in winter too, when it half freezes. Come in the morning, it gets crowded, and with good shoes if you do the circular route.
The Saharna waterfall, in the Saharna gorge, Rezina district, in the same place as the cave monastery and the Saharna monastery. A natural, open spot, no hours and no ticket. Reviews describe a very beautiful forest trail of 15-20 minutes to the waterfall, with three churches to visit on the way and an old monastery carved in the cliffs; it is "very calm and relaxing", and in winter the half-frozen waterfall is worth the walk. One hiker recommends a circular route of one and a half to two hours through the forest, with sliding rock descents in April that require good hiking shoes if you go further than the monastery. Two notes: it gets pretty crowded in the afternoon and at noon, especially at weekends, and anyone wanting higher cascades is sent by one visitor to Țipova.
