then under the
mountain up to Pichetu Rosu
where I turned left towards
Prepeleag
;tr. From here I proceeded on the ugly trail which goes to
Bucsoiu until it meets the upper end of Brana Caprelor
at an
elevation of 2277m. Then I've descended Brana Caprelor to the floor of
the Malaesti Valley
where I've met the trail which climbs towards Omu;
I followed it up to the lower end of the horn which goes to Curmatura
Hornurilor
; here I left the marked trail and climbed the horn
;
from Curmatura Hornurilor I've descended towards Stana din Gaura
then
the Simon village of Bran
, completing the day with an 8km walk up to
Bran-Center. I was a bit disappointed by Brana Caprelor, which I judged to
be plain and uninteresting, however I enjoyed the descent of Valea Gaura,
with has a very varied and beautiful landscape.
