The forecast is for where you set off. Up on the ridge, count on a few degrees less and on wind you cannot see from below.
What the walking is like
Opt sute de metri de la cabanele silvice de la Făina, peste Vaser pe o punte, până la izvorul mineral Mihoaia, amenajat într-o ciutură pe malul stâng al văii.
Mountain trail
The Mihoaia spring is a natural sparkling water, valued by locals for its taste.
The spring is built into a ciutură, a trough hollowed out of wood.
Flora
Fauna
The species above are those documented in the area by the protected-area administration; what you see depends on season, hour and luck.
Sleep at the foot of the mountain
La Cuib is half an hour by car plus a walk uphill from the start of this trail: a fully equipped kitchen that is yours from first light, a place to dry boots, a garden for the evening. Three nights, the whole house, 1,797 lei.

Once you're back down
The whole house is yours: wet boots by the door, packs in the hall, a late dinner. Parking in the yard and an early start, without waking anyone.
