Spre Rudăriţa

To Sebeş

We continue our trip, we climb to Conisu peak and Vârful Laptelui and we reach Luţelor saddle. The one to follow is Berevoiul Mare (2300m) peak with a path descending to the tourist lodge (2190m.) If there isn’t a must we won’t descend to the tourist lodge, but go around Berevoiu Mare and go past the peaks reaching Curmătura Vladului, 2182m. There is a road leading to Masivul Iezer from Curmătura Brătilei. Then we go around a swampy area surrounding lake Bratila and we climb on a winding close to Vârful Ludişoru, 2302m. We descend into Şaua Ludişorului, 2200m, we cross Muntele Faţa Unsă and descend on a wide winding road to Curmătura Zârnei.
