Map of Retezat mountains: Bucura Lake - Retezat peak

The marked yellow band and red triangle trail starts next to the brook Bucurelu (2070m) and starts climbing up to Tăul Porții. On the shore of the lake, the two marks are separated.
The red point descends through the slabs, and we climb the Portii's shoulder. In a little while we get to a indicator , where we'll meet
This is where the red band joins us.
We enter the Retezat's Custura, which is dripping on the side of the Stānisoara valley, and more welcoming to Stirbu's valley. We arrive in Retezat's saddle, where is a new crossroads.
To the Retezat Peak (2482m) we join the blue triangle. Headed by markings, we will climb slabs giants, approx. 30-40 minutes to the Retezat Peak. Here we meet
