Petera Muierilor (Romanian for "The Woman's Cave") is a cave system in Gorj County. Its name comes from the women that found shelter here, while their men were at war.

The Cozia National Park is in Valcea County. Apart from the wonderful sights, this area offers many reasons for visiting it. Some of them are: the ancient Roman sites, the monasteries, the waterfalls and gorges, and many more.
