Route description

The START is from the Central Square, where we go down about 1 km on the asphalt, then in the area of ​​the town hall we turn left and exit the public road.
Next comes a climb on the forest road through the forest, we pass by the Roman funerary monument and then we go down to the village of Corna, we cross a few more meadows then we go down to the hamlet of Bunta where we will have the first feeding/hydration point (Km 6.5).

From there we start a climb through the forest on a path that takes us through beautiful meadows full of wildflowers, we reach the top of the hill from where we will have a beautiful panorama of the quarries that we left behind but also a view of Detunata.
At km 10.5, the route reaches the county road that we will cross carefully (ATTENTION, road traffic is not stopped!) we will follow a smooth path through the meadow and after about 1km we will reach the Corna taluk where we will enter the quarry where gold has been exploited for thousands of years and we will run on industrial roads to the Cârnic peak passing by a lot of old mine galleries.
From here we descend on a path through the forest near Piatra Corbului we reach an intersection of five roads where following the signs we will keep slightly to the right. After about 500m we leave the forest road to the left following the instructions of the volunteers and enter a mowed path at the end of which we have a short but very steep climb that takes us up the Ghergheleu hill, then we descend at km 17 where the half and marathon routes separate.
We leave the point on a grassy path and following the ridge we enjoy superb panoramas before descending to Tăul Mare. The route continues to wind through an alpine meadow, then follows a short but very steep climb through the grass to the Rotundu hill. From here we begin a descent on a forest road among fir trees, we pass by a raspberry patch and near the end we also have a cold spring. After the spring we turn left again and make one last climb to the antenna on the Rotundu peak from where we descend at speed for about 2 km, we pass by the Văidoaia viewpoint and then arrive in the Central Square of Roșia Montane at the FINISH.
