On our hike to Parangul Mare peak, we decided to hike the first day to “refugiul Agatat” ( The hanging refuge ) and spend the night there.
It takes roughly 2 hours to get from DN 7A to the refuge.
The refuge was in good condition, with a fire place and a spring nearby.
Feeling refreshed we continued the next day to Parangul Mare peak. Click here for next day’s panos.

Vf. Gropsoarele
Currently at 1815m altitude, we can see the Gropsoarele – Zaganu ridge towards the east, and the seismic sensor mounted close-by.
A lot of tracks converge at this point, like the one coming from Ciucas chalet or the one going to Red Mountain chalet.
After 50km/h winds we finally reach the terminus of this hike, the seismic sensor housing converted into an alpine refuge.
