Fluturelu starts with a fast section, full of wide and fast turns, that can prove to be treacherous due to the loose terrain. As the forest becomes more dense, the trail gets straighter and faster, with some pedal sections. The glade segment doesn't have any major technical obstacles, being perfect to catch your breath before the last part: a big rock-garden, quite steep and long enough to challenge any rider. In the final part it goes along Canada trail.

Access Info

As you climb on La Arşiţă, turn left when the trail become flatter.

lots of spiky plants in the lower, open part. Be very careful as a flat tire is likely.
