The blue triangle trails start at the tourist lodge and turn left. The first section of the road leads us through woods reach in rivulets. There are 9 wooden bridges across these rivulets. This section is called Drumul Zmeilor. Once we are out of the woods we ascend up to Saratii valley. We cross the valley and climb to the spring of a brook. 1 ¾ hours away from our starting point we reach Piatra Prânzului from where a road descends:
To Călţun lake through Strunga Ciobanului
Our road to the main ridge takes us through fallen rocks. We soon reach a rocky forest. Peştera de sub Vârful Negoiu, 2258m is 150m away on the left. This cave is 17m long and its floor is always covered with a layer of ice. The dizzy height of Sărăţii offers us a view on such famous rocks as Arcul Cleopatrei, Foarfeca, etc. One more ascent and we find ourselves in Popasul lui Mihai pass. The red streak trails leads us to the other side of Saratii rock by crossing Negoiul Mic, 2485m peak. Here we descend to a small pass. The last ascent takes us to Negoiu peak (2535m)
