The blaze starts at the tourist hostel of Padis together with the blue-point and the yellow-cross. In the first saddle, leaves us
and in the Poiana Rotundă
On the Ponor meadow our blaze does not go through the Brădeţeanu brook, but goes along it on the right side, so after 20 minutes descending we get to the Ponor meadow. The waterfall is upper with 280m. The blue cross and the blue dot leads us to an emergence at the foot of a wall. Water comes with extraordinary speed from the 60m wide and 2.5m heigh arch. Here aggregates all the water of the plateau, thus we can understand the huge output of this waterfall.
We go back to the turnout, go through the clearing and start climbing onto the ridge. On the other side we descend to the brook, which takes us to the Căput cave situated at the foot of another rock. From here the blaze takes us into the wood, goes through the pass of Căput brook, gets out to the forester`s path, where it meets the red stripe sign.
