Marking: Blue triangle on a white background

A light, pleasant route along the Argintului Valley (Valea Argintului), which starts from Cisnădioara and crosses the Frog Stone area, a natural geological reservation protected by law, made up of Cretaceous limestone, over 65 million years old Its current shape, which looks like a frog, was defined by the movement of water which, over time, dug through the rock, thus shaping it. This stone is known nationwide due to the variety of marine fossils, which have a unique value in the national patrimony. The route then continues on its last stretch through the forest to the Rosengarten Refuge.
