The times are for the starting point. Between ridges the light goes earlier than the clock says, so turn back a good hour before sunset.
Weather · Vișeu de Sus · today,
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
One kilometre on the forest road up the Șuligu de Sus valley, to the mineral spring. The shortest marked route in the park.
Mountain trail
The Șuligu spring has been valued for its curative qualities since the nineteenth century and was once bottled for the home market.
In front of the spring you can see a travertine deposit, rock laid down by the mineral water itself.
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.
