Attention! The blaze was not made by the mountain ambulance's members, thus its colour can change any time.

The startpoint of this blaze we can consider the tourist lodge at the Drăgan valley. 1km from here appears the arrow marking the start of a blazed road. Some serpentines and we are on the top, where on a wide road we can go farther on the ridge. 20minutes climbing on it and we reach the Mâncii hill. We get to a horizontal plateau, passing by some houses, going around a peak from the right and we reach a saddle. We go straight ahead climbing and pass by the last houses.

At the settlement of Vișag we go at the right side until we reach a glade. Crossing it we go by the electric pillars. Getting to the top of the hill, we turn south and after 20 minutes climbing we get into another saddle.

From here starts a hard rise, we pass by a rocky peak and get to the ridge of Vlădeasa mountain. Crossing the Bănișor glade we go 30 more minutes on the ridge and leave it forever, descending to the Vlădeasa tourist lodge at the Frânturi glade.
