- 6. The Brides Veil The most spectacular thing about this village is its waterfall, the Vlul Miresei Waterfall (Brides Veil Waterfall) that represents the center of the wholes village activity. The villagers live their lives in harmony with this water course, youngsters bathing in its waters during summer and women washing clothes, animals drinking in their way to the pasture.
- 7. The Brides Veil Located at an altitude of 1000 meters the Bride's Veil is a two-stage cascade having its two steps totaling a difference of approx. 30 meters. At the bottom of the first step there is a deep hollow with a diameter of 10 m, which ensures water dispersion giving it its resemblance to a veil. In the winter it forms a wall of ice where many tourists and locals can practice climbing .
