If you feel like taking a 100% adrenaline vacation, the Jiu Pass is the place to go. The Mountain rescue team from Romania Gorj Adventure set up an extreme relaxation program, including water, underwater, ground, above ground and underground exercises. You do not have to be very athletic or know about climbing, rafting or swimming. You just have to like adventure.
Visitors usually book months in advance, because the adrenaline tourism in the Gorj region turned out a real success. It is up to you to decide what kind of thrills you would like to experience: the program is flexible and includes client-chosen activities. You may opt for rafting or canoeing, waterfalls circuits or all sorts of downfalls like abseiling ravine descents or zip lining. Plus 20 more such sports. The risk involved is minimal. Regardless of your sex, age and bodyweight, you will make it through all of these challenges, thanks to the training sessions provided by the Gorj Adventure Team members and t their permanent safe keeping. They use top-notch equipment, thus ensuring a maximum degree of security. And the fun is beyond compare!
The adventure may last for a day, three days or even five. You can bring a few friends or a larger group of buddies. When you sign up for your activity package of choice, you may opt for cave diving, along with zip-lining and natural rock pools vaulting, and the organizers prepare a tight program, including mountain biking, jeep tours and picnics – or, at the clients request – they can even arrange an evening with the “haiduci” (outlaws or freedom fighters from the Balkans), when everyone gathers around a large camp fire, enjoying the excellent spit-roasted lamb. It goes with traditional music too, if the customer demands it…
A much sought program is the ProOana, usually booked by companies looking for a nice teambuilding outing. It includes crossing three waterfalls, plunging into the natural water pool, hiking, descending in a ravine at 20 meters down, followed by abseiling, funiculars and zip-lines. Plus whatever sports the client pleases. Another popular activity is the Super-Rafting, which is a rapid descent on the white waters f the Jiu River, in 5 seat boats, along 25 km (15 miles) - the regular circuit or the 40 km (25 miles) – the large circuit. The decent time ranges form 3 to 7 hours, and during the rafting you may also choose playing naval battles or different contents. Upon request, the organizers can prepare a night rafting circuit.
Canoeing is another vivid experience: one has to cross the narrow and deep valleys, eroded by torrents, to go through active valleys, with lively streams, or through fossil valleys, where the water flows only during the rainy season. This circuit implies complicated activities: climbing, natural slides descent, plus you might have to cross very difficult passages.
This is the type of tourism that challenges participants’ every physical and mental boundary. And, when it all ends, you certainly won’t be suffering from any sprains or joint dislocations. The landscape is fabulous, the open air activities are very promising and the obstacles seem easier to pass when you know there are some mountain rescue professionals watching over you.
However, not every single activity is physically consuming. You can always choose the cultural circuits, including trips to visit Brancusi’s sculptural ensemble in Targu Jiu, some traditionally themed museums, or the local monasteries. Tourists are also welcome to go on photo quests or cycle tourism and even hiking.
As for the accommodation, you might choose a tent, a guest house or a hotel. Usually, during the weekends, everything is almost fully booked by companies for team buildings. During the week, regular tourists are more than welcomed to go through such superhero adrenaline tests
