Detunatele

Detunatele is a site of columnar jointing in Alba County, Transylvania, Romania. Detunatele means lightning striken. The columns are made of hexagonal-shaped basalt and are 1258 m tall on two peaks: Detunata Goală and Detunata Flocoasă (Barren Detunata and Shaggy Detunata).

The two peaks are located in the Metaliferi Mountains and are a tourist attraction. They are 1.5 km apart. The formations are shaped like humps and there are stories and legends associated with them. They are considered to be two of the most beautiful peaks in the Apuseni Mountains.
