The blaze starts from the hotel towards the Mirracle Spring. The blacktop is interrupted after half a km, our blaze goes on a wide path upwards on the right side of the valley.

First we get to a spring, then going farther we get at the ridge full of clearings. This place is called Aria Vulturilor. From here we descend into the Aria brook`s valley, cross the brook, then climb up to a clearing, Poiana Munceilor.

One more hour we shall walk from here to the Dragan valley, we cross the concrete bridge and get to the Cserepes forester`s lodge. From here a detour takes us to the Esmeralda spring. We go back on our blazed way, go 10 more minutes on the forester`s path in the Dragan valley, then turn onto another forester`s path going right on the bank of the streamlet. After 30 minutes walk we get to the Dragon Mill or Moara Dracului waterfall.
