The best way to get here is Transfogarasan Alpine Road - Balea Lake

From Balea Lake  - follow the signs toward Lacul Caltun - to west - its

Location of the peak

Hi Konrad, The location of the peak currently is on the summit of Lespezi. The correct location would be 2 km further in north-east diraction. I guess you can correct it. Best regards, Szani
