Good accommodation in this section of the world, where there is no paved road less than 60 km away, where electricity and mobile or internet coverage do not reach, nor dream it.

A good breakfast was prepared by Rodica and a bag of food for the road with its corresponding Romanian Tuica, similar to the Hungarian palinka but with less graduation.

We continue along the track that arrived yesterday, today's stage could be a bit drab, almost all its route surrounds the Iovanu Lake reservoir until it reaches its dam, relaxing path between pine and beech forests, a thick vegetation but poor in fauna, You don't see a lizard, not a single person in the 30 km, without mobile or internet coverage, if someone wants to disconnect from the outside world, it's in the right area. A dead snake had the bad luck of crossing the track when a car would casually pass by, something very strange.

From the reservoir the road zigzags down the now concreted track until it reaches the bottom and join the Cerna river that comes from the reservoir. In a stop, almost in our destiny we began to hear how messages came and went, finally coverage, I have been two days ago and Paul for three years at the exit of Rausor.

We arrive at the accommodation in Cerna Sat, the Perla Cernei pension, a magnificent accommodation belonging to the Romanian government, similar to the Spanish lodges located in a magnificent place but which can only be accessed by tracks not less than 40 km from inhabited places.

Pearl Cernei is managed by Lily, a young woman with an older man who may be her father.

We have unloaded the backpacks and we have visited the Cheile Corcoaia canyon a narrow gorge with a passage in the wall towards the interior of about 200 m, at the end, we return to the accommodation to rest before dinner.
