Trail description

The classic steep ascent from Busteni up the wild Valea Jepilor to Cabana Caraiman at 2025 m on the Bucegi plateau rim. The trail climbs beside waterfalls under the cliffs of Caraiman and Jepii Mici. From the hut a short stroll leads to the 36 m Heroes Cross of 1928, perched over a sheer kilometre of air above the town.
