Map of Bihor-Vladeasa, Apuseni mountains: Baita -Vartop saddle

The blaze starts from the centre of Băița on the road of the Crișul Băița valley, until a place where we meet the Valea Mare brook. There we go right, so follow the road we were coming on.
When the road turns right and starts descending, our blaze starts to rise at the left slope towards the Porțile Bihorului cave. When it is raining we can see a 4m big waterfall after its entrance.
We go farther and get to the entrance of an old mine, which leads us to the Vârtop saddle (1140m) within 2.5-3 hours.
