Following the red band from Godeanu, on the plateau of Paltina Muntelui (2152 m), we slowly descend slightly to the left, bypassing the Sturul Peak (2 149 m), and descending into the saddle. From here we continue on the heights, pass by a rocky prominence, and descend into the Curmătura Soarbele, between Paltin and Stănuleț. Here we meet:
We continue on the ridge, walk through the slopes, leave the Stănușeții Mari peak and the saddle between Stănuleții Mari and Mici, we head on the slope of a stream, pass through the juniper, and in front of us suddenly comes the Stone of Iorgovan (1,997 m).
We climb its slopes, cross a dry valley, pass through a juniper, and walk out onto the plate below the peak. From here an arrow shows the way to the top. From the top our road descends and meets with
Soon we arrive at Albele saddle, we leave the Albele peak to the left, we go through juniors, stream and get to Scocul Dracsanului.
We cross the valley with many limestone blocks and in the same direction (south-north) we climb beside a creek. Upon the stream, we encounter a spring that from time to time mumbles. We go back to the trail, the marker carries us at the beginning of the tributaries of the Lăpușnic valley, leads us through a juniper forest corridor, and suddenly we reach the Plaiul Mic saddle. Here we meet:
From here we continue on the summit to the top of Custura peak, avoid the north Păpușa peak, we reach the saddle where we meet:
From here, along with the yellow cross, through a tedious climb, we reach the Custura Peak.
