During the time when the Habsburg family ruled over this area, the Tişiţa Gorges route was used to transport timber. The tunnels at the end of the reserve are testimonies of that era.

Conservation facts

In the 19th century the entire forest in the Tişiţa Valley was eradicated. The forest which stands today is a relatively young forest.

In the beech forest, there live important populations of large carnivores and black goats that have been repopulated in the area since 1982. Otters can also be observed in the waters of Tişiţa, and their trails can be observed especially during winter.
