Map of Sălciua de Jos: Sipote waterfall

The Sipote trascratic waterfall of the Trascăului Mountains is located on the Aries valley, 2 km downstream of Sălciua commune. It is a drop of water over a length of approx. 1 km with several small waterfalls and two larger ones. The lower waterfall is more accessible because it is also visible from the Lunca-Turda road.
On the beachfront there is also an improvised parking lot, with a waterfall right from the cascade. The main feature of the steppe cascade is the travertine bed (calcite deposits).
The top waterfall is equally spectacular, it is the first fall of the Sipot Creek that gathers its waters from three karstic springs beneath a cliff wall over 100m.
