 The cave is located on the right Valley Ordâncuşa, specifically in the area of intersection with versantul left the Valley Gârda Seacă.
Although access to the cave is hard enough, must climb the path that follows the wall of limestone, tourists will not leave disappointed after descinderea in Avenul under Zgurăşti. First of all, they enjoy the size of the precipice at the entrance, 35-40 m diameter and 30 m depth. Great train detritus ooze on its walls, under two great arches, which converge in a courtroom as (65 m long, 40 meters wide and 35 m height). Vatra cantonează room during a rainy sprawling lake with depths up to 25 m. This area offers a cave, often during a natural phenomenon that is rarely encountered ceţii of cave formation. Great scientist Emil Racoviţă explained by the processes of ionization of air particles and condensation of vapor in surfeit, around ions in training
Of the 4 km of galleries of the cave, reveal long sections available attractive, such as lakes, groundwater, and parietal speleoterme floor forms of groundwater modeling, but the lack of facilities itself all these are inaccessible to ordinary tourists, but the from the entrance, spectacular sea, remains the only portion still visit. |
 It group of caves known by their concreţionarea, which justifies the status and nature monument and protection they enjoy. Genetic, it corresponds to the level of resurgenţă higher goals groundwater. A" plug " of alluvia, estimated at 6 m in length, divides the bottom of the cave gallery terminal extremity of Glacier Scărişoara.
A surreal World bazmelor childhood seems transplanted here, trimming the cave itself is beyond itself. Up curtains, stalactitele and stalacmitele pearled, monotmilchului overflow, clusteritele or coralitele are just some of the forms of cloud metamorfozare of calcite and aragonitului. Multitude and variety of formations - this is the main treasury of measles policy, equal to a few caves in Romania. |
 Bounded to the east of the fierăstruirea wild Ordâncuşii, Cave's Gate Ionele out due to "gate" monumental, over 15 m high, from the entrance. Opening them in close proximity to the road that crosses Ordâncuşei Gorge and the beautiful waterfall travertine, over whose gears sit zglobii waves brook just come to light, all one requires attention. Furthermore, ogive entry rapids and waterfalls in their physiological peculiarities are the main recreational feature of the cave above. This takes place as well as a gallery of 324 m long, weak concreţionată. Underground river obârşiile changes often, either the wall or in the left, near the portal, a phenomenon apparently due to the way particular aquifer discharge Zgurăşti. |
 Gorge Ordâncuşii, complex, one of the most narrow gorges in Romania (in patches 4-6 m wide) with a natural landscape particularly picturesque.
Two vertical walls of limestone, so close that the water line just found the way out to its collector, stand guard by way of access to his cave entrance Ionele. Senior over 250 m and a length of 3.25 kilometers, accommodating its many niches, arches and cave mouths of (over 30 caves) that attract the traveler steps unique subterranean world, of which Ionele's Gate Cave and Cave of the Zgurăşti declared speleology reserves and reserves that integrated. To these are added a number of forest associations with a diverse floristic composition. |
 Glacier Cave Scărişoara hosts the largest deposit of fossil ice in the country (75,000 m3), containing information paleoclimatică extended for a period of about 4500 years. It is a static type glacier located on the bottom of an aven the first cave declared natural monument in Romania.
The Glacier from Scărişoara is through an impressive aven, which gurş with a diameter of up to 60 m open forest in the heart which takes Creasta Pârjolii. A narrow path carved into the rock and metal scales anchored walls facilitate the lowering of 48 m depth as measured avenului. On the bottom of his store all year long in a thick layer of snow - the first sign of the frozen world sheltered in the depths. Here is (in the form of an impressive portal measuring 24 m high and 17 m wide) the entry itself in the cave.
topography of the glacier Scărişoara is simple, because the cave is actually a single room with a total development of 700 m. Approximately in the middle of this room is a huge block of ice with a volume of 75,000 cubic meters and in dăinuie cave over 4000 years. Before the upper block (3000 sqm) forms the floor of the Great Room. In the side opposite the entry floor to break into a steep slide of ice (hazardous area), which gives in a second room, called the Church. Here is the first ice formations stalagmitice, embodied in the massive columns whose head sometimes bludgeon shine under the rays of light reflected by snow from the bottom of avenului like giant lighting on. Church concluded classic tourist area inside the cave, the rest being far scientific reserve, with two distinct sectors. In
right side of entry are small Reserve, which takes place at the foot of a vertical wall of ice high of 15 m. The left side of the Grand Reserve, which descends to a wall made of ice but still tilted, long 68 m and extended with a powerful downward gallery, on whose floor the massive limestone blocks, trunks of fallen trees and boulders on the surface mix of languages long ice. This is Pop Up Gallery. In both reserves, at a certain distance from the block of ice in the cave reappear stalagmitele ice, some of which have a permanent existence and others - the most remote - to melt completely during the summer, but recovering in forms more or less similar in winter months.
Beyond the frozen fields of columns, the cave is totally changed, instead of ice being made concrete by a great diversity and beauty. They abound especially Coman Gallery - a narrow extension Reserve Mari - downhill slope aceentuată to maximum depth of 105 ma cave, coming at the same time only a few meters from the second gem of the karst Scărişoara -- cave measles Police. In fact, the two cavity there sometime before the start of training block of ice, a natural communication, but that was stifled by the debris and concrete. The whole cave is in the form of a downward gap closed at the bottom to the bottom of the bag. This goal operates as a trap for cold air, which "falls" in the cave during the winter, when the atmosphere from the surface has a lower temperature and therefore has a density greater than air underground.
During the summer, when the temperature and density are reversed, the air warmer and easier on the outside can not penetrate deep cave. In this way, the air below ground remains cold year. Block of ice has a stratified structure, visible in the sea along the sea wall flanchează Small Reserve. How this structure preserves the existence of contemporary climate change in ice cave, glacier gives it a great scientific value.
The Scărişoara Glacier Boarding House in Gârda de Sus, a small traditional farms with local specific, has an Internet site with the help of the Public Access Point to Information (PAPI) in the locality. The RECL administrator in the commune of Gârda de Sus has managed to create a website for the presentation of the boarding house after having promoted a specialty course, as part of the “Knowledge based Economy” (KEP). The address where information and photographs from the village of Gheţar may be found is http://www.ecomunitate.ro/firme/pensiunea-ghetar-scarisoara/.
visiting and ways of access
tourism sector of the cave, including currently Aven, Great Hall and the Church, arranged (in aven metal stairs and wooden footbridge in the Great Hall) making unnecessary special equipment. It is recommended but a proper clothing because the maximum of Grand Hall is only 0.5 degrees Celsius. Since all of the ice formations enter summer in a process of partial melting, it is recommended that visiting the cave to make the last months of winter, when these farmaţiuni reach maximum development and gives the cave a beauty indeed unusual.
