I wanted to start early, since the weatherforcast said rain and I wanted to get at least some hiking done. But I didn't hear my alarm, so I started at about my usual time.
First it was road walk, where I passed a first world war graveyard. But also on the road, I didn't quite proceed as I had planned. There were trees with ripe little plums! Perfect, since my breakfast (onsisting of 1 bowl of cereals) was not much.
I left the road and hiked up for a long time. It was a beautiful beech forst and after some time it was even a really nice and marked trail. It seems like it is well used, since there were little paths through the burning nestle fields, around the few fallen trees and there were even little ledges to walk on steep hills! So nice, I had missed that. And no risk of running into dogs! Some more stops for raspberries and when the forest opened up I could see Lacul de accumulare Poiana Uzului.
The weatherforcast had said heavy rain in the afternoon and it looked a lot like rain! Inbetween I had some open parts and was afraid to get rained on. But I made it to the refugio without getting rained on. Nice, even with a wood stove, but also some mice. It looked like rain but wasn't too bad, so I decided to continue. When the forest parts ended and about 5 km of meadows started, I was reluctant to continue. But the sky looked better and it was still so early! And I knew that it doesn't help to procrastinate the meadows, because I would have to do them in the morning, when the shepherd are maybe still in the houses and not with their sheep and dogs. So I continued.
Apart from 2 really relaxed sheep encounters in the morning, I had 3 more in the afternoon, all very nice. Seems like the dogs here are not so crazy :)
