Dear hikers,
We will start from the intersection of Călugăru road with DJ106, which connects Sibiu to Păltiniș, towards Poiana Pensionarilor, on the TA trail marker. We will stop there for about 20 minutes, for rest, hydration and a small snack. After enjoying the wonderful view from the meadow towards Măgura Peak and Prejba, we will climb about another 50 m to the ridge of the hill, then descend on an unmarked trail towards Mărăjdie, at the exit from Gura Râului towards Păltiniș.
WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?
We meet on Wednesday, 22 July, at 17:30, in the parking lot of Dumbrava Sibiului Guesthouse, near Hotel Hilton.
From there, we will travel by personal cars towards Rășinari and then towards the intersection with Călugăru road, where we will drop off the hikers and then take the cars to the end point of the route. The drivers will return to the group and we will set off on the hike.
