We slept on Friday in Brancoveanu Monastery and on Saturday morning we moved up from 800m to 2100m on the North Dragus ridge. The climb was tough but the scenery on the top with all the trees blossoming was worth all the efforts.We had a great lunch next to a stream before to start our descend to the Salvamont Hut on Valea Sambatei. At the end we had been covering a distance of 15km, walking up 1300m and walking down 800m.We had a great dinner with the Salvamont team before to rest under our blankets while the rain was pouring outside. In the morning the weather had improve enough and we walked down the Sambata Valley along the river to go back to the monastery.<\/p>\n<p>All in all a great experience witch I recommend to anyone who wants to discover this unique scenery of the Fagaras mountains covered by red Rhododendron flowers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Beth and Marc Desenfans, June 2010 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mountainguide.ro\/rhododendron-hiking-tour-in-fagaras-mountains\/\"><b>photos here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a very nice experience with Iulian in May where we discovered Omu Peak in the Bucegi mountains we decided this time to go hiking in the Fagaras Mountains on 19th&amp;20th of June.
