Cluj — City of Cables

Well, actually not.

Cluj is no different than the rest of the country. Everywhere in Romania we saw, cables will stretch out over the streets and from house to neighboring house instead of running underground, expensively dug into the streets.

Electricity, telephone, TV, occasionally also overhead contact wires for Cluj streetcars (trams) or electric buses (trolley buses).

So why Cluj?
Because here I decided to take pictures of the most picturesque cable arrangements. At times, with some gas meters thrown in.

But Cluj also offers something quite ingenious I have never seen in any other place: The river Somesul Mic serves as swath for a high-voltage power line.
