Dear hiker,
The hike to Șaua Șerbănei and Niculești Peak offers a perfect combination of the wild charm of dwarf pines and the spectacular openness of the ridges. As we ascend, the landscape changes, and from the top, the view stretches far: the majestic Făgăraș Mountains rise in the distance, while to the south, the gentle ridges of the Lotru Mountains unfold. This is a route that blends the beauty of nature with the sense of freedom that only the mountains can provide.
