Piatra Craiului Ridge
A 25-kilometre limestone arête south of Brașov — one of the great ridge walks of Europe.
About
Piatra Craiului — "the King's Stone" — is a thin limestone wall that runs north-to-south for 25 kilometres. The full ridge traverse is a two-day commitment with one bivouac at Cabana Curmătura; the day-hike to Vârful Ascuțit and back is reasonable for fit walkers. Edelweiss grows along the cliffs in July.
Worth knowing
Exposed scrambling in places. Not a casual hike. Storm shelter is rare on the ridge.
