Stâna lui Burnei

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Starting point for climbing the Moldovean, the highest mountain in Romania, 2544 m above sea level.

The parking lot is a disaster, best to arrive the evening before or very early.

The way there is 37 km forest road, about 2 hours gravel road.

View of the Făgăraș Mountains

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the saddle just before the final climb to the Moldoveanu intersect 4 ways. From here you have a beautiful view in both directions: down into the valley and the wide plain below and on the other side in the cauldron with a small lake.

Viștea Mare Summit

Highlight • Summit

If you go from Belea to Moldoveanu, you must climb the peak as well. It is very beautiful there and from there you can reach Moldoveanu in about 20 minutes. The route can be a bit strenuous.

Moldoveanu Peak

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in Romania. There are different routes to get there. From Belea the route is long and somewhat strenuous. You can do the route in two days by spending the night in Podragu. You don't need any special equipment. Just good shoes and walking sticks. From the top the view in all directions is very good, weather permitting.
