Where it goes

The route leaves Sinaia and climbs on the road to Poiana Stânii Regale, an easy section. It continues past Piatra Arsă Hut, then across the plateau to Omu Peak; this is the most demanding part. From the Omu area it descends towards Mălăiești Hut and then towards Râșnov. The huts mentioned along the route are Stâna Regală, Piatra Arsă, Hotel Peștera, Omu and Mălăiești; check beforehand whether they are open and have room.

In winter the route is only partly accessible: the Sinaia–Piatra Arsă and Hotel Peștera–Omu Hut sections are inaccessible, and the source mentions avalanche risk. Water: a spring near Poiana Stânii, the springs of Valea Cerbului and the source of the Ialomița. Bear risk is not published in our sources. In an emergency call 112 or 0SALVAMONT (0725 826 668).
