In den rumänischen Karpaten: Die Besteigung des Moldoveanu von der Podragu-Hütte aus.

Der Moldoveanu mit Iulian Cozma in zwei Tagen (September 2009) Für Westler liegt Rumänien etwas ‘grau’ im Osten, das trägt – wie bei jeder ernsteren Bergtour – zur Spannung bei, wird alles klappen oder bleibt der Gipfel fern?
