Gifted with a rich touristic potential, defined by a variety of natural and manmade elements, Mureşului Defile is among the areas of great attractivity on a national as well as international level. Its touristic potential, seen as an economic activity, is still in an incipient stage and is comprised of a wide array of resources and natural and man-made touristic sites, with a poorly developed infrastructure. The settlements from the area (Stânceni, Lunca Bradului, Răstoliţa) are starting points for numerous touristic trails.
