Is been almost one year since the hike in Bucegi Mountains, starting from Buşteni, but I have to finish the description of the hiking trip.:)
So by the end of the first day I go up to Ţigăneşti to see the lake and the area over Piatra Craiului. There is a short hike of about one 40 minutes - hour up, starting right behind Mălăieşti Hut, up to Padina Crucii Ridge.
From here I already see the glacial caldera starting under Ţigăneşti Towers. I head south, on the ridge. the weather is calm right now so I have no worry. I decide to pass and go on Ţigăneşti Ridge. I go down to Ţigăneşti Lake, where the dogs from a sheepfold welcome me, barking dangerously. I wait for the shepherd and manage to go ahead on the ridge. There still is time up to the sunset, so I decide to stay on the ridges as much as possible.
I take some pictures , admire Piatra Craiului and the depression between Bucegi and Piatra Craiului, Bârsa County.
Than I step down, have some problems with the dogs at the sheepfold, but manage to get rid of them and talk to the sheepherd. He ask me the phone to call his boss, a lady, to tell her that his colleague did not arrived (the guy was already one week late). Of course she didn't answer the phone, so I continue back to Mălăieşti.
