Vf. Buhăescu Mare from Vf. Pietrosu

A beautiful color mixture. Right from Buhăescu Mare you see Buhăescu Mic.

Isn't this Buhaescu Mare peak and behind Buhaescu Mic peak?

When I've read your comment I looked up the new edition of the map I used to use, and this new one shows the peaks as you say (in fact it makes more sense this way). On the other hand, I would swear 100% that the old map showed them the other way. Don't have it here with me but will check at home (other SP pages seem to list this peak as Rebra, too, most probably because they used the same map). No matter what, thanks for bringing the issue up. I will look into it deeper and correct if correction is needed. Cheers, Peter

However, some newer maps prepared by the National Park, like this or even better this one show it the other way. Given that: 1) it makes more sense because of the lakes' names 2) all newer maps I have access to, have changed the position of Rebra a Buhaescu peaks I would say that it's time for me to change the captions. I will post a message to the Romanian board on the issue to discuss before changing.

In all his trip journals in the region of Pietrosu he reminds that from north to south the correct order of the peaks is: Pietrosu, Buh?escu Mare, Buh?escu Mic and Rebra. And it does make a lot of sense if you associate the peak names with the lake names. The small Buh?escu lakes are on the slope of the Buh?escu Mare peak, and Rebra lake is on the slopes of Rebra and Obâr?ia-Rebrei peak. Also Rebra and Obâr?ia-Rebrei (which means "The origin of Rebra") are names linked to the river Rebra which starts its course on the southern slopes of these two mountains. Well, it was great having a chat on this issue with you. ;) I wish that you will have amazing future trips! (wherever, not only in the Carpathians)

	Hasn't voted	Yes it was certainly helpful to discuss the issue, thanks for bringing it up. The geography is clear, I think the old military maps are to blame for the misplacement of the peak names.
