Dear hikers,

We will enter from the northern side of Sebeșu de Sus village into the Moașa Valley and, after about 3.5 km, we will park on the riverbank. After another approx. 3 km along the valley, during which we will cross the river several times, we will begin a steep ascent in switchbacks, following the red dot marking eastward toward Suru Cabin. Once there, we will take a well-deserved break for lunch and to enjoy the crocuses growing around the cabin. With those who want a bit more exercise, we will continue for about one more hour up to the Mountain Rescuers’ Monument. The others, who prefer to enjoy the sun and the flowers, will wait for us at the cabin. After we return, we will head north, following the red triangle marking, descending along Moașa Ridge, and we will return to the cars in Moașa Valley on an unmarked trail.

The hike is suitable ONLY for people with medium or good physical fitness and for children aged at least 10 who have mountain experience.
