Itinerary description
Răchiți - Topliţa
2nd part of today's track - the offroad part of the link between Orsova and Retezat.
Track is crossing Sohodol stretch and going through mountain pass Dalma Cazuta (1152m).
The very first part - 3-5 km - was the impressive rocky stretch. All around hundred meter high cliffs.
The road itself is gravel road.
Up on the pass was some little snow - due to the last 2 days of 15-22 degrees, snow started to disappear from lower altitudes.
No technical difficulties at all, considering the no-snow condition (even a 2x4 cross-over is doable).
No mud can be expected in any weather since the road is stony.
The view from the Retezat Pension (today's accomodation) is amazing: Retezat's 2000+ meter high ridge is visible!
