DESCRIPTION<\/h4>\n

Trail:<\/strong> S\u0103la\u0219u de Sus \u2013 B\u0103r\u0103\u0219tii Ha\u021begului \u2013 S\u0103cel \u2013 S\u00e2npetru \u2013 Sibi\u0219el \u2013 Ohaba Sibi\u0219el \u2013 Nuc\u0219oara \u2013 M\u0103l\u0103ie\u0219ti \u2013 S\u0103la\u0219u de Sus<\/span><\/p>\n

The trail starts in the centre of S\u0103la\u015fu de Sus village and continues along the river, passing by the town hall and leaving the village on a gravel road (in the near future it might be paved with asphalt). Then, it crosses the communal pastures, it climbs up to a hill and it continues on a dirt road to a pond where you can admire some peaks of Retezat Mountains. From the pond you should get back again on the hill (5 min) and follow the dirt road that descends to B\u0103r\u0103\u015ftii Ha\u0163egului village. From here it turns left through the village on an asphalt road till it enters in S\u0103cel village where, on the left side, you can see the ruins of the Baron Nopcsa Mansion. Cross S\u0103cel village and at the first crossroads, after you pass the river, you should turn left to S\u00e2npetru. In the intersection with the new built church of S\u00e2npetru the trail follows the road from the left and after a few hundred meters reaches the medieval church of S\u00e2npetru. From here it follows the asphalt road on the right (or even the road right in front of the church, if you decide to visit it) and at the village exit we enter in the “Dinosaurs Valley”, known under this name due to numerous discoveries of fossils in the valley slopes and also due to the thematic trail built there by the administration of Hateg Country
\nDinosaurs Geopark. It passes close to the dinosaurs\u2019 hill and the granite fields, while in front we have a beautiful view of Retezat Mountains. The road continues to Sibi\u0219el, then to Ohaba Sibi\u0219el, where on the right side you will find an old water mill and then, on the left side is a whirlpool. When the asphalt road ends, you have to cross the footbridge and the route follows a dirt road along the last houses in the village. You have to cross on foot a creek and the road continues uphill about 150m, then you get to an asphalt road leading to Nucsoara village (it is in project to asphalt the road between Ohaba Sibi\u0219el and Nuc\u0219oarag). At the main road in the centre of Nuc\u015foara we turn left and we follow the asphalt road up to S\u0103la\u015fu de Sus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
