Gura Humorului – Toaca Peak – Tocila Peak – Bobeica Peak – Scorușeț Peak – Ciumârna Pass

What the walking is like

The crest of Obcina Mare, from Gura Humorului to Ciumârna Pass, where the Palma zipline is: two or three days of walking on low ridges, between monasteries, with villages on both sides. For those who want a long road, not a summit.

What we'd tell you at the gate

• Split into stages by village: guesthouses on the way, no huts.
• At the end, at Ciumârna Pass, the Palma zipline.

Not to miss on the way

• The Palma zipline, at Ciumârna Pass.

What grows and what moves along the trail

The species above are those documented in the area by the protected-area administration; what you see depends on season, hour and luck.

How long it takes, honestly

A multi-day linear trail: the time is for the whole route A → B, in two or three stages, with a tent or with guesthouses in the villages along the way. The duration is the one in Suceava County's official guide (Salvamont); the kilometres and driving minutes to the trailhead are from Google Maps.

• 18–20 hoursone way, A to B, at your usual pace
• n/aback the same way (estimate)
• 18–20 hoursout and back, with short breaks
• 26–30 hoursone way, if you stop for photos and eat on the grass
• 30–36 hoursone way, with children, grandparents or a pack full of “just in case”
