To Podul Giurgiului sheep–folds
Our path takes us to peak Galbena. Another 20 minutes of walking on the narrow ridge and we reach Scărişoara mountain. At this point the three trails diverge. We head south on the ridge of Scarisoara and climb to Scărişoara Mare peak (2495m.) Then we descend into Căldarea cu Izvoare. In foggy weather we should not start out without a compass, which would help us keep our direction southward. We reach a wide mountainback; we go around two peaks and start descending on a road marked by stone heaps. We reach Curmătura Maliţei, 1830m where more roads meet
Our path keeps heading south, we cross two peaks, then keep descending through clearings for a long time. 5 more kms on a forest road and we reach Nucşoara.
