The route starts from the Capra Cabana hotel but is only marked near Capra waterfall. So far we follow Transfagarasan on a length of 2 km. At 1.5 km from the cottage we leave the yellow triangle marker to the right.
Our route continues another 0.5km on the road, followed by the marking that leads us up the steep slope to the western slope of the Piciorul Caprei. We go over two glacial steps and get to Lacul Capra, further to the climbing monument where we meet the markings:
