Itinerary description
|
Today my intention is to make a path of exploration. I intend to climb from Gura Diham to Omu Peak, which I have already climbed from Babele. On that occasion I was very struck by the zetas that were climbing the slopes until they reached the top from the valley that comes from Gura Diham. So today my intention is to explore some path up and down the future route.
We arrive at Busteni, a beautiful town in the middle of the Bucegi Mountains in the Romanian Carpathians. I have already done several routes from the town itself, such as the famous Jepii Mare and the toughest Jeppi Mici . I head in the direction of Gura Diham, where I park next to the hut.
Once prepared, I start looking for the path to climb, at first I was a little confused, I couldn't find it. Later in a kind of meadow to the left, in the background you can see a small door that gives access to the river.
A small wooden bridge awaits me on the other side, which will make me cross the river, which is somewhat swollen.
Once crossed to the other side I find a small path that I continue along.
An abandoned house I meet on the way. The sound of the water that carries the river is heard strongly at your side.
I find a water intake, which has the appearance of the old gold mines, through which they carried the water.
Next to it there is a passage in the fence, now we follow a small path next to the river, it seems that she wants to take you along the riverbed, until I come face to face with another half-fallen bridge, and with a strong current of water.
At this point I realize that I am not going well on my route, because this area is going to be boxed in too much. And I turn towards the wooden aqueduct, to try to follow my good path.
It is difficult to find it, sometimes it gets lost, you have to be very careful not to get lost, because if you do, sometimes you get into some trouble on the ground. It is advisable to carry walking sticks, as the slope in some areas is very high.
After finding yourself in the solitude of nature that surrounds you, we find a marked path. It is a path with a Yellow Band, which comes from the road that leads to the Cabana de Gura Diham al Varful Omu . Seen from where I have climbed, I recommend going up this marked trail and ignoring mine due to its complexity.
A short distance after following this path we come to a crossroads of Paths. We leave the company of the Yellow Band Path and we will follow the Red Triangle Path in the direction of Cabana Malaiesti.
At first I missed my wikiloc route and had to pull out my paper map to figure out my next destination.
On our way we will find a detour to the Din Morar refuge, which we ignore and continue to the next crossroads. It is curious that we have a small bench as a rest area.
Here we leave the company of the Red Triangle Path to take the Red Band Path in the direction of Cabana Poiana Izvoarelor. Now I walk more relaxed because my destiny is clearer.
If you look back you see the peaks that you would find on the way to Cabana Malaiesti.
I arrive at Cabana Izvoarelor, where I stop for a moment to drink something hot and take advantage of and eat some of my food. It is a place where you can eat and stay.
After a short break I continue my Red Band Path which will leave us at Gura Diham. The path definitely begins to tend downhill through these beautiful forests that surround you.
I hope you like this little wild and adventurous ride.

Una maravillosa ruta pero no creo que la pueda hacer un abrazo Antonio
Bien 😀😀😀
Paisajes espectaculares. Unos 9-10 km que tienen mérito haber subido.
Hola lavilav, desde luego que tienes toda la razón, una ruta de exploración que en cada uno de sus kilómetros de recorrido tiene merito. En cuanto te sales de los senderos balizados, todo es una aventura. Gracias por tu comentario y valoración, saludos antonio.
Hoy empezamos esta ruta y acabamos dándonos la vuelta después de 1h por no conocer el terreno, no haber ruta señalizada ni camino alguno. Volvimos al parking donde salen varias rutas a la derecha del restaurante correctamente señalizadas
Me parece un peligro para gente no avanzada
Hola reymon77 efectivamente no es un ruta balizada y por eso puse en mi comentario que se trataba de una exploración para otras futuras rutas. En Rumanía en las rutas no balizadas te puedes llevar muchas sorpresas, por eso, siempre recomiendo seguir las balizadas. Saludos antonio.
Hola, gracias por compartir la ruta , en el mes de octubre estaré por la zona. Me preocupa un poco el tema osos, viajaré y caminaré solo por la zona, primero dirección cabana diham y después cabana Malaiesti hasta Brasov. Tuviste que tomar alguna medida anti osos ? No te causó algo de incertidumbre o pavor? Saludos
Hola Inad Izquierdo, el caminar solo no es aconsejable si vas por sendas poco transitadas. Claro que sentía desconcierto al caminar. Yo solo te puedo comentar que hagas algo de ruido mientras caminas y lo hagas por sendas muy transitadas. Son difíciles las soluciones. Saludos Antonio.
