From Bucova you can climb on the unmarked side of the Tarcu Mountains. With a map and some luck - or hiring a guide - you will have the opportunity to see places that few tourists were able to reach. In just a days walk you can get to the Pietrii top (2192m) and to the Iezer lake where the Bistra river springs from. And you also have enough time to go back...

Ans and Jerome, two brave tourists accompanied by their guide, will show you the way.

After an hour walk on the Bistra valley the slope to the sheepfold begins. In 30 minutes we come out to the light.
