Bistrița Ardeleană Gorge is a geomorphological subunit located in the eastern part of Bistrița - Năsăud County, in the Bistrita Bârgăului commune and on the Bistrița Ardeleană River, at the border between Călimani Volcanic Plateau (Dealul Negru - Poiana Cofii) and Bârgău Mountains (Bridirei Ridge - Dealul Pietrei - Ariniş). Normal and periglacial modeling exerted on volcanic agglomerates from here has generated spectacular landforms represented by residual slopes, residual ridges and rock formations (walls, towers, poles, apostles). By their configuration and geomorphometry parameters (height, width, slope, energy, fragmentation) these landforms has a great potential for engaging in recreational activities like hiking, scrambling, ghyll scrambling, gorge walking, rock hopping, rock climbing, rappelling, via ferrata, tyrolean traverse, canyoning and mountain biking. This study proposes an interdisciplinary inventory and assessment of geomorphological conditions to develop future planning and tourist valorization projects of this area by local and county authorities.
Key words: Bistrița Ardeleană Gorge, volcanic conglomerates, activ leisure, hiking, climbing, rapelling, tyrolean traverse, scrambling, ghyll scrambling, gorge walking, rock hopping, canyoning, mountain biking
