Duration: 7 h
Length: km
Height difference: +1800 m/-20 m
Note: Dangerous in the winter

The red triangle trail leads us to Sambetei brook where we meet the blue triangle trail. This one climbs to the place where Sambetei meets Piatra Caprei brook and goes along its right bank. Soon we leave the brook behind and start climbing though a woody area. A rugged winding road takes us to the top of Piatra Caprei. The view is worth all the effort. It offers a wonderful panorama of the surrounding mountains. The trail starts to descend to the place where we meet the red dot trail. This takes us to the Cross from where everybody can choose the direction he\she wants.
