  • Really impressive place. Easy to reach by car. Entry tax 20lei/person.
  • When you arrive there, you will be greeted by a person who will hand you a leaflet with information about the complex that also has a map. You can leave the car in the parking lot, there are paths arranged to each objective, and the ticket costs 20 RON (4 EUR) per person. The included objectives are: the extinct volcano Racos, the basalt quarry Brazi nicknamed by the locals The Emerald Lake, the basalt columns, and the Sükösd-Bethlen castle. There's a toilet as well as kiosks where you can buy souvenirs.
