You have to wait a while between those journeys of complete tranquility, where every corner you turn has a new view, and all is zen like. We started in the valley to the right, and ascended Prislop. We didn't get as far as the famous mountain cabin, since we wanted to get back before it got dark and the wolves and bears came out. Still, as far as reasons to turn back go, how cool is that? We got to the plateau at the top, somewhere a little short of the 1416 metres summit, so that afternoon, in sandals, according to the contour maps, we got up a little higher than Ben Nevis which tops out at a lowly at 1344. And for Transylvania this is a little mountain. People go up it on mopeds!
