16MN11: Chiril - DJ175A Transrarău - Hotel Rarău

Since the road has been paved, very few tourists do the trip on foot. The trail follows the narrow paved road (DJ 175A, Transrarau) from Chiril to Rarau Hotel. The blue dot markers have been preserved on two paths that shorten the winding road. The first one is shorter and turns right (N) about 30 m above the village name board at the exit of Chiril, but it goes through a fenced property. The second one also splits to the right at a lodge that is under construction, on a road which it leaves after only 50 m. Climb to a ridge that you continue to follow, walk through a large meadow and then on the edge of the forest. Get to a signpost, walk for 100 m and turn slightly to the left, on a clear path cut into the mountainside, through the forest. Walk past a water tank and in 175 m get behind Rarau Hotel.
