  Abstract:  

Geoecological aspects in Turenilor Gorge. A special feature of this area is represented by its natural component in which, the orography, the hidrography and the vegetation harmoniously combine, resulting a landscape with the most dynamic features. The Turenilor Gorge, the north-eastern limit of the Trascău Mountains, presents itself as an important floristic, faunistic, geologic and geomorphologic area. Carved by the Tur river and having 1850 m in length, the Turenilor Gorge have been declared a natural reserve with mixed value sheltering a series of important flora and fauna species, with national importance. Nowhere else, the epigenesis is more edifying nowhere else the sedimentary rocks have better covered the limestone than in Turenilor Gorge. Located in the proximity of two important communication ways – the town of Cluj-Napoca and Turda the fabulously and wild relief developed on limestone recommends the Turenilor Gorge as a wonderful and adequate place for leisure, not only for the nature passionate but also for those who enjoy rock climbing or posses a certain affinity for the speleology (within this area 29 caves with different lengths have been identified). The flora and fauna within this area is extremely diverse, thus presenting a great ecological importance.
