Dear hikers,
We will start from Avrig Valley towards Poiana Neamțului, and turn right at Gura Jibrii towards Izvorul Florii. We will proceed through the valley, passing by Anna Charisma cabin, as far as each car can go, and then start an ascent on the right that will lead us to the trail climbing towards Suru Cabin on Moașei ridge. We will take a longer break at the cabin to enjoy the wonderful carpet of spring crocuses laid out by Mother Nature each spring, and also for a meal break. If time allows, we might also hike towards the Mountain Rescue Monument. We will descend towards where we left the cars almost by the same route (only the loop from the trail towards Izvorul Florii will be different from the one we ascended).
WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?
We meet at 09:00 AM, in the parking lot of the DECATHLON store, in Shopping City Șelimbăr. From there we will travel by personal cars, on the route: Sibiu – Avrig – Gura Jibrii – Izvorul Florii, where we will park the cars as high up the valley as possible, possibly even at Izvorul Florii.
