If you don&#8217;t have more than a day available for the route, you will choose the road that crosses the Valea Rea.<\/p>\n<p>The route to Moldoveanu Peak through Valea Rea is not exactly for beginners, having sections with sustained climbs, which will test your physical condition. However, the route is a memorable one, passing one of the most spectacular waterfalls or the glacial caldera \u2013 a place out of stories.<\/p>\n<p>To reach the barn in Valea Rea (St\u00e2na lui Burnei) you will cross 40 km of forest road. It can be crossed with any car that does not have very low clearance in about 2 hours. If you&#8217;re not in a hurry, you can enjoy the many camping areas along it.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at St\u00e2na lui Burnei, you will discover the great waterfall of Vaia Rea, next to another spectacular waterfall, located to the left of the construction.<\/p>\n<p>The ascent to Valea Rea is made on a winding path, which turns towards the end into a sustained climb on gravel.<\/p>\n<p>The bucket of Valea Rea was shaped by the glaciers that dug into the rock, being today a marshy area, with islands of abundant vegetation and waterholes. From here you can admire the Moldoveanu and Vi\u0219tea massifs, V\u00e2rful Ro\u0219u and the crest of Vaia Rea. The bucket of Vaia Rea is also the place where the stream that feeds the waterfall of the same name is formed.<\/p>\n<p>The ascent continues to the glacial lake Iezerul Triunghiular. From here, the route will take you to Porti\u021ba Vi\u0219tei (2310m). The climb becomes more and more challenging as the dirt and vegetation path is replaced by gravel.<\/p>\n<p>From V\u00e2rful Vi\u0219tea (2527m) you will already see the objective of the route \u2013 the majestic Moldovean. From here, the ridge path will take you to a rather difficult area with chains. In a maximum of 10 minutes of increased attention on rocky terrain you will reach the highest peak of Romania.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St\u00e2na lui Burnei &#8211; Valea Rea &#8211; C\u0103ldarea V\u0103ii Rele: 1,5 hours C\u0103ldarea V\u0103ii Rele &#8211; Iezerul Moldoveanului &#8211; Porti\u021ba Vi\u0219tei: 30 minutes &nbsp;Porti\u021ba Vi\u0219tei &#8211; V\u00e2rful Vi\u0219tea Mare (2527 m): 40 minutes V\u00e2rful Vi\u0219tea Mare (2527 m) &#8211; Moldoveanu Peak (2544 m) 30 minutes Moldoveanu Peak must be on the wish list of any [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-caezu-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8636"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8637,"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8636\/revisions\/8637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caezu.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
