Leaving home a bit late I managed to reach Cojocaru on Dambovita valley only
at 12.30 noon. From here I climbed along Dragosloveni Valley up to
Garofita Pietrei Craiului chalet then continued until the trail which
runs parallel the main ridge some 500m lower . From here I turned left
thru Umerii Pietrei Craiului then met the La Lanturi trail ; which
I followed up to Saua Grind . I turned then right to trek the southern
ridge up to Saua Funduri where I arrived at 8.15pm. The descent was by
Urzicii valley to Prepeleag where the night arrived (it was 9pm). For the
next hour I descended thru the woods to Crucea Granicerului and
the Hunting Lodge ; the last 3km were on forestry road. A nice trip which
took me 10 hours instead of the planned 8.
