4 trips in Piatra Craiului (interest point: La Lanturi):

August 20th: Piatra Craiului. 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. Alone.

June 13th: Piatra Craiului. We weren't so lucky with the weather in this easy one-day trip. We've left the car around Plaiul Foii chalet then we climbed on the 'La Lanturi' trail until the entry in the rocky portion, called La Zaplaz . Together with Nicoleta Puscasu.

June 1st: Piatra Craiului. We continued our week-end trip after having slept in Brasov. The trail was Plaiul Foii - La Lanturi - Grind Saddle - southern main ridge - Funduri Saddle - Urzicii valley - pe sub Umeri . The weather was interesting, with rain and hail in the heights but dry at lower altitudes; the last 2 hours were in dakness thru the forest, to the desperation of Bogdan Together with Bogdan Visinescu.

May 25th: Piatra Craiului. We intended to climb from Plaiul Foii chalet all the way up to the main ridge by the 'La Lanturi' trail ; unfortunately Cosmin felt bad a bit further up than La Zaplaz so we had to return. A very relaxing trip overall. People: Nicoleta Zamfir, Cosmin Zamfir.
