The red triangle trail starts from Lunca Berhinei (1220m), of the Paltina stream, and directs directly to the summits.

After a lighter climb following the course of the stream, the trail moves away from the water and begins a tedious climb in the serpentine. At the exit of the forest we turn right and climb to the base of the abrupt ridges of the Stănuleții Mari. We arrive in a high-grassed clearing, where the orientation is difficult, we cross a harsh stream and bypass the warmth between Mount Paltina and Stănuleții Mari on its eastern side. A last sector of serpentines often takes us to the Soarbele saddle (1930m), where we meet

Paltina peak- Custura peak

Together with the red band, we move to Stone of Iorgovan, where we can climb a trail. Returning and continuing on the mark, in a short while we will leave the red band, to get to Câmpușel. This route on our site is described in the reverse direction.
