Trekking the Seven Ladders Canyon in Romania

Seven Ladders Canyon Trail

Seven Ladders Canyon Trail

The Seven Ladders Canyon is carved from the Șapte Scări Brook from the Piatra Mare mountains, it is located south of the Timișu village in the Romanian county of Brasov and is the most popular tourist attraction in the Piatra Mare Massif.

Each waterfall has a ladder leading to another one, and there are seven of these ladders hence the moniker, The Seven Ladders Canyon, get it?

The receptionist at a hostel where I stayed at recommended the trail and stated it could not be completed within 5 hours unless you are determined.

It is a mountainous region with rugged trails so proper attire and equipment like hiking boots/shoes are required – which I didn’t have at the time, so I was to do with regular walking shoes.

Piatra Mare

I invited a couple of my hostel mates to do the hike with me, Kevin and Bryan (both from the U.S.). We hailed a taxi for well under $10 (between the 3 of us) to take us to the trailhead. It’s a little over 40 minutes from the center of Brasov and the drive there was reasonably pleasant with excellent views.

FIND THE BEST FLIGHT DEALS!
Hey guys, travel is expensive but one of the first things you can save on and be smart about is your flight tickets and hotels. Skyscanner finds me the best deals in flights and sometimes hotels. Click on the button below and set up a price tracker alert to score you the best flight deals and travel more!
See Flight Deals

At the trailhead, there was a fair amount of caution posted all over the place. It was all in Romanian, and we could not understand any of it. I think it was there to make it seem more dangerous than it really is and make it more seem like you’re in some kind of adventure. I’ve hiked way more hazardous trails than this!

STAY LIKE A LOCAL!
Do you want to know how to make travel (especially long-term) interesting? Stay like a local! To experience a place like a local rather than a tourist gives a whole new dimension to any adventure. I use Airbnb to rent anything from a room to an entire house. If that's not attractive enough, how about $55 off your first stay via Airbnb?

Waterfall in Seven Ladders Canyon

Waterfall in Seven Ladders Canyon

The ladders are slippery because it’s wet from the waterfalls; however, the handrails are solid. You shouldn’t have any problems climbing up and completing the canyon portion.

Some people end the hike at the end of the canyon, but the best views are at the top of the peak past the chalet of Piatra Mare.

The trail is kids and family-friendly so getting stuck behind a swarm of pupils along the way up the mountain is extremely common.

In better weather, there is zip liner available for 50 RON so that you can hike up to near the summit and then zip line your way back down the mountain dodging pine trees along the way.

The waterfalls were not at all impressive, but the gorge is stunning and is unique enough to more than compensate for the tedious walk along the tiny waterfalls.

I’ve hiked more difficult trails but I can see why it can pose some problems to those uninitiated.

The trail is wet and slippery. If you weren’t wearing high traction shoes, you would be slipping and sliding.

There is a 10 RON entry fee for the road, and it takes about one hour to finish hiking the canyon section.

From there you can make your way back down the same route you took back to the canyons or choose a different direction.

Both lead to the same spot.

Going the other way is more comfortable as the trail has no carved canyons, it’s just an old fire road that’s muddy and wet.

The Seven Ladders Canyon trail system offers a remarkably modern experience, one that makes it easy and convenient to find your destination.

Yellow markings take you up higher to the mountains and following the red markings take you back down. Every few steps you take you can see the color-coordinated markings that make it easy to determine where you are.

Getting to the trailhead is easy. Located 17 kilometers south of Brasov in a village called Timisul. A taxi is the most convenient and fastest way to get there.

We paid 20 RON (5 dollars) one way. You could take a bus, but I found the bus system in Romania very confusing, but your mileage may vary. You can also drive, but I don’t recommend it. Romanians are insane drivers.

Getting back to Brasov, you can either take a bus or hitchhike your way back. We met a nice couple at the chalet, and they were kind enough to give us a lift back to Brasov.

If this isn’t an option, there’s a little snack back at the trailhead, and the lady there speaks English. You can ask her to hail a taxi for you, or you can ask for the bus schedule. Either way, it’s easy to get back.

TREK THE SEVEN LADDERS CANYON TO PIATRA MARE MOUNTAIN

  • The canyon is about 2.5 hours from Bucharest by car.
  • It’s 15 minutes from Brasov by Taxi.
  • The entrance fee is 10 RON.
  • Graded easy to moderate.
  • There are two ways back down the mountain. Go the same way or the other longer route that’s more moderate. Look for signs on the way back down.

A DAY IN BREAKDOWN:

  • Taxi from Brasov to the Trailhead – $2 (per person, $6 split three ways)
  • Entrance fee to the park – $2.5
  • Breakfast at a hostel – free (included)
  • Packed lunch – $2
  • Cooked own dinner at the hostel – $1.50
  • Hostel stay – $14
  • 1.5-liter beer after the hike – $2
  • TOTAL: $24

    Wow, I knew about Romanian Green lands but you definitely showed us how diverse they can be.
    I just saw Timisoara but hope I’ll be able to see some wild green area of Romania very soon. I’ll follow your path!

      There are so many places in Romania that I’ve never heard of. Worth Exploring!

    Last summer I was in Brasov and I went to do a hike in the nearby national park and it was a complete disaster. Trail was poorly marked, skill levels were all off and we ended up turning back after we found ourselves scaling a vertical climb up loose rocks. This hike looks MUCH more interesting – I only wish I had known about it sooner :) The area is lovely.

      Well, it was probably quite an adventure and if it were me, I’d go back and tackle it again :)

    This hike looks really awesome. Love the fact you can go zip lining

    • May 29, 2016 adonisabril Reply

      Yeah for 50 RON but you can go a different route to go back instead.

    What beautiful scenery!!
    Romania has been in my travel radar for many time, and I think finally my husband and I gonna visit it, but on winter time :(
    Not sure if I will have the opportunity to enjoy the same beauty and adventure around middle march… Let’s see!!
    Thanks for the tips!

      There’s plenty to do in the winter! The landscapes become surreal and there’s a few ski resorts if you like to ski/board.

    Wow! Great pictures. I’ve never been to Romania before but it looks like a beautiful country. Thanks for sharing!

    Happy travels :)

    It’s really beautiful. I love the idea of the hike up and my knees like the idea of then zip lining back down part of it, I find a lot of stairs much harder going down than up so that sounds a great option.

    • May 29, 2016 adonisabril Reply

      Yeah not great for the knees, use a good pair of trekking and sticks and you’re set!

  7. May 28, 2016 Meg Jerrard Reply

    Sounds like a fabulous way to spend a day – I’ve heard from a few people that I should skip Bran, so going to put Brasov on the list instead. Might try and find an app which can translate on the go so I can read Romanian sign posts along the way :D Beautiful photos – thanks for sharing your experience!

    • May 29, 2016 adonisabril Reply

      Meg, yes skip Bran! In fact, I working on an article detailing exactly that! Brasov should be your headquarters, skip Bucharest :)

    I really don’t know much about Romania. I wouldn’t mind giving Piatra Mare and the seven Ladders Canyon a go. The scenery is amazing, the waterfalls are not really spectacular as you said, but it is definitely worth the trip anyway.

    • May 30, 2016 adonisabril Reply

      Transylvania is full of amazing scenery :)

    Incredible pictures – it was certainly worth the hike – although I was concerned when you said you did it in tennis shoes.. if that was me, I can guarantee I would have slipped in the mud and fallen flat on my face! .. but it still would have been worth it for those views!

    • June 1, 2016 adonisabril Reply

      I’ve done dumber things like hiking in Kings canyon with just sandals on very rocky terrain :)
