The Valea cu Apă River or Solomon River is a tributary of the Şcheiu River upstream of the city of Braşov, Romania. It is known mainly for its narrow gorges, called Pietrele lui Solomon (Solomon's Rocks) close to the junction with the Şcheiu river.

Legends related to the river

According to a local legend, Solomon was a Hungarian king. While riding in the area he was pursued by some enemies (Tartars or Turks in different variations of the legend). His horse was able to jump over the gorge, while his pursuers all fell into the valley.[1]
