At the height of 1650m we find a sheep fold. We go around Clăbucet peak (1717 m) and the blue streak trail starts accompanying us on our way to the pastures of mountain Marginea. The blue strak trail turns right
while we turn left, climb the winding roads and then take part in a rugged descend to the forrest road. After about 30 min. we reach the meeting point of Izvorului Scării and Izvorul Negoiului brooks (1338m.). A little higher it forks to the left
We follow the path turning right and climb to Piscului lui Cazan ridge. At Negoiu sheep-fold we descendinto the valley,then enter the woods, climb to the other side of the valley, cross a waterfall and descend to brook Izvorului Negoiului through an area covered by juniper trees. We leave the brook behind and start climbing on Negoiu. After 5 hours of walking from the meetingplace of the two brooks we reach Popasul lui Mihai, which is close to peak Negoiu (2535 m)
