Track Description
Another easy track has as destination the Rosiile Lake (2000m), located under the Parangu Mare Peak (2519m). The track starts at an altitude of aprox 1200m from Groapa Seaca Chalet direction to the Rosiile Lake. The first half of the track consists of a forestry road of about 5km. Then, you will have to follow the red circle marker for another 3 km; on this section, the track follows a mountain path and starts to climb. The track is a very beautiful one, because of its diversity - you will walk in forest, you will pass river on wooden bridges, you will see the spectacular Agatat Shelter, you will pass through juniper trees with stony path, you will see sheepfolds and other lakes. The Rosiile Lake is the deepest glacial lake (aprox 16m) in Parang Mountains and above it at about 100m you will find the Mandra glacial lake. Near Rosiile Lake there is also the Lung Lake. You will have to return to the start point, so the total length of this track is about 16km, which can be walked in about 7 hours - 4 hours to climb to Rosiile Lake and 3 hours back to start point.
