The fastest way to reach Ciucas Peak is starting from Ciucas Chalet and following the red stripe path. The first landmark we reach is the area called Tigaile Mari, with it’s remarkable stone towers.
Standing between the stone towers of Ciucas, the view is amazing.
Towards the south we can see the Bratocea ridge (a longer access route).
Ciucas peak, at 1954m altitude.
Last view from the main ridge, from here we went down to Tigailor pass, and back to Ciucas chalet.
After descending from the peak, the trail will lead close to another interesting feature – the Goliath Tower.
Here, the trail splits. Ciucas chalet can be reached following the trail marked with the red cross, or, if DN1A road is your destination, the red stripe will take you there over the Bratocea ridge.
