Fine job

Thanks for taking the time and effort to add this mountain to SP, it is very informative! I would only come up with a few notes:

1) 'Buteanu' is a family name - we don't know exactly whom it refers to, but it already appears on 18-19th century maps of the area. 'Vânătoarea' translates to 'Hunter', but as it's mention on its SP page as well, this name stems from a mis-spelling issue. However, that issue is quite old (can be traced way back to the 19th century), so it has gained strength over the original name.

2) 'Vf. Netedu' translates to 'Smooth/Plain peak' (name usually applied to peaks with grassy slopes, pops up in several other places as well) and 'Vf. Găvanului' translates to 'Cauldron peak'.

3) The Muntii Nostri Map can also be browsed online, just surf to http://muntii-nostri.ro/en/munte/muntii-fagaras-2/ and click the "trails" tab. It is also available for "smart mobile" devices for offline use. If one happens to have/use GPS device, they might want to know about www.openmaps.eu which offers open access topo map (with trail marks) for entire Central Europe.

4) Winter access can be dangerous, because the slopes are prone to avalanches:

Potential primary image

Hi, I like your new page, it's a nice job with precise detials in many aspects! I just added a photo about the mountain. It shows the whole mass of the mountain. If you wish, you can use it as a primary image for the page. (Unfortunately its colors are not too bright since I took the photo early morning, but the contours of the mountain are seen well) Best regards, Szani
