Munţii Rodnei | Cascada Cailor şi Vârful Gărgălău

A tour of the highest mountains in the eastern part of the Carpathians, a mountain group that is part of the Rodna Mountains National Park, the second largest in our country. The chosen route, a fairly common and well-known one, starts from the Borşa Tourist Complex, on a forest road that takes us to Poiana Runcu Ştiolului, to the mountain rescue center, and from here it is not far to the highest waterfall in Romania, the magnificent Cascada Cailor. From the waterfall we climb a fairly demanding slope to almost Stâna Ştiol and continue our path to Lake Ştiol or Izvorul Bistriţei Aurii, the main watercourse that feeds the largest reservoir in our mountains, also called the "sea between mountains" - Lake Izvorul Muntelui or Lake Bicaz, more commonly known. From here it's not far to the main ridge, in the Gargălău Saddle and then to the peak with the same name, 2158 m high. Route length: approx. 20-21 km; Elevation difference: 1300 m; Travel time: 8-9 hours round trip, with breaks for filming.
