Rafting on the Buzău

On the Buzău River, the rafting route extends into the Valea Lupului area of the city of Pătârlagele. The route is moderately difficult. Fast sections alternate with calm sections.

In the area of Pătârlagele, the Buzău River has a narrower riverbed for rafting. The rafting there features larger choppy waves. Rocks protruding from the water are also part of this section of the river.

The three characteristics of this section of the river occur together: the narrower riverbed, the choppy waves, and the rocks protruding from the water define the mentioned area of the Buzău. At the same time, the rafting route remains structured by the alternation of fast and calm sections.

The Puntea suspendata

The Puntea suspendata crosses the Buzău River and connects Pătârlagele with Zaharești. The connection is several hundred metres long. The Puntea suspendata has no decking and sways when crossed.

This describes the bridge through its two connected places, its length, and its special characteristics. The Puntea suspendata thus includes both the connection across the Buzău and the swaying during the crossing, as well as the lack of decking.
