Dear hikers,

We will set off from the intersection of Călugăru Road with DJ106, the road connecting Sibiu to Păltiniș, toward Poiana Pensionarilor, following the TA marking. We will take a break of about 20 minutes there, for rest, hydration, and a small snack. After enjoying the wonderful view from the meadow toward Măgura Peak and Prejba, we will climb about another 50 m to the ridge of the hill, then descend on an unmarked path toward Mărăjdie, at the exit from Gura Râului toward Păltiniș.
