Valea Lunga forms the north-east edge of the Hoia forest, going through calcar rocks into the Baciu Gorges. The valley itself is asymetric, the northern side is steep and rocky, with fossil deposits which granted it's status of natural preserve, while the southern side is more gentle, covered by forest).
A small natural lake lies upstream of the gorges. Several springs come out here with drinkable water, supplying some homes downstream.
One can reach the gorges coming from Baciu county on a road that forks off DN1F or from the hilltop coming from Taietura Turcului through Hoia forest.
