The blaze goes from Pietroasa village together with the blue cross and yellow triangle along the Crisul Pietros. At the influx of Aleu streamlet, before a huge stone we are left by

Pietroasa-Padiș Pietroasa-Arieșeni

Our blaze guides us along the Alo streamlet on the forester`s path, passes by the forester`s lodge, crosses a bridge, then goes further on the road right side of the streamlet.

Where the forester`s path turns right, we leave it and go straight ahead along the Aleu streamlet upwards. The ridge is a hard rise, then comes a slight descending way and we get to the Bohodei waterfall.

The height of the waterfall is 80m. From here the path leads us on rocks, many times we need chains. At an alpic zone we can be amazed by the waterfall, then comes a part with newer, and really wild rocky parts, where we need chains again.

It takes 2 hours to get through this rocky part. Afterwards, the blaze gets out to a softer, less rocky zone and leads us into the forest. We climb onto the Bohodei saddle.

Stâna de Vale-Vărășoaia Custurilor tour

From here we start our way together with a yellow cross towards the Aleu valley. Our path takes right, we descend on the right side of Șerpilor valley. One more glimps back at the valley and there comes a rough descending to the Aleu valley. This way goes together with the signs of the one we climbed upwards. This takes us back to the road.
