About

Local name: Izvorul Honterus. Bucegi Mountains range, about 690 m above sea level. None of our site’s trails is close yet — follow the local waymarks and a map.

There is no confirmation that the water is drinkable — boil or filter it first.

In an emergency in the mountains call the rescuers (Salvamont): 0725 826 668 or 112. There are many bears in the Romanian mountains: never leave food in the open and do not camp next to rubbish bins.
