From Arieseni, follow the DN 75 to the center of Garda de Sus. From there, turn left and after about 1 km turn right again at the first crossroads towards Poarta lui Ionele and Cheile Ordancusii. The gorges extend over a length of 4 kilometers in a picturesque landscape with impressive rock formations which invite you to take a walk, also to the nearby Scarisoara glacier.
