The routes in Latoritei Mountains – Voineasa – Cararii Valley- Gruiul Viezuinii – Chica Lupului Peak – Ciresu Hill – Macesului Valley.

This time we start exploring the Eastern area of Latoritei Mountains as well as of a part of Steflesti and Capatanii Mountains, on a route less known and used by tourists because of the lack of any markings and the fact that the path on Gruiul Viezurelui is less known. Beginning from Zan Hotel we go to Valea Cararii and after Tolea’s drinking fountain, we go up right on the path accompanying upstream Cararii Spring.

The routes in Latoritei Mountains – Voineasa – Curmatura Vidrutei – Vidra

Although the route mainly follows the road, it is worth walking for the beautiful landscapes that could not be fully enjoyed by car. Up to Curmatura Vidrei, the road is common with Voineasa - Valea Manaileasa - Manaileasa Mare route, but, to avoid the monotony of walking and to shorten the serpentines of the road, on the point where the road crosses Manaileasa spring, heading north-east, we will go upstream the spring on a forest road to Curmatura Vidrutei.
