The sign starts from where the Zârna brook flows in the Drăgan lake, and goes on the forester`s path on the right side of the streamlet. We leave it at the end of the lake in the Zârna valley, and after 20 minutes climbing we get into the saddle, where are kraals. From here we climb rightwards until the foot of the Prislop hill, from where we descend to another saddle. From here we climb unto another plateau, then go on the south part of Tarnița hill. We rise on small stones, turn left towards the east peak of Tarnița. We turn right from the peak and descend to another saddle. We leave the glade at the east part and climb unto a path, which takes us left. Half an hour later we get to the level of meadows. After a couple of minutes we get to the ridge of Vlădeasa. Here we meet the red dot.
