If you start in Cicarlau, you drive about 10 km almost exclusively uphill, but the beautiful forest rewards the effort. Arriving at the cross, you can first enjoy the beautiful 360 degree panorama. From here it goes downhill, whereby at some point you have the option to either turn right towards Nistru, or turn left again towards Cicarlau. Attention, the paths in the forest are very diverse and some of them are not listed on Komoot. Here it helps from time to time to open the Komoot map and check live where you are. It is essential to make these available offline beforehand, as internet is not available everywhere here.
