This route is part of the route: Dambovita River Linear Park, which runs from the Lacul Morii reservoir to the Bucharest city limit. They are about 17 km. The river is canalized and runs through the historic center of the city. On its margins there is a track that runs in both directions. I have walked downstream from Piata Unirii to Pasajul Nicolae Grigorescu. They are about 6 kilometers always next to the river.

Bucur Ciobanul Church, dedicated to Saints Athanasius and Cyril of Alexandria, is an Orthodox church in Bucharest, perhaps even the oldest church in the capital. Because over time, the origins of the church have been researched, different dates have been decided, to this day "Bucur's church" does not have an exact date. For a time, the humble church was used as a chapel by Radu Voda Monastery; Today, the most important historical monument church is the parish church. Although the historical documents do not certainly show information about its foundation, so without having a "birth certificate", Bucur Ciobanul Church, whose beginnings are lost in the mists of legendary times, as in the case of the founding of Bucharest, remained the custodian the beautiful oral tradition about the legendary founder of the fortress on Dambovita.
