This post is part of a tour that spans several days. To check the previous days, the links are at the end of the post.
On day 4 we hiked to Judele peak, and then did a loop on Slaveiu ridge. Unlike the previous days, this day was sunny and the views were amazing, definitely worth checking the panos out.
This track is not marked, and it’s quite rocky and exposed, so if you choose to go this way, be extra carefull.
We left the camp at Bucura lake and started climbing towards Judele peak. This is the first lake we come across, Bucurelu lake.
Higher up, we go round another 2 lakes, Florica and Viorica.
