If you are looking to cross from Brașov to Poiana Brașov on foot, neither too fast (Red Road) nor too long (Blue Road), but still with some challenges, try the Yellow Road.

This route, suitable for young and old alike, starts at Solomon's Stones.

In the first part, the route cuts several times through the wide gravel path that also connects Brașov with Poiana, and which seems more like an easy promenade that you can enjoy, by yourself or with your family, on foot or by MTB.

The first deviation leads you on some improvised stairs, welcome for a little variation. The second detour leads you through Poiana Nisipului, where the ascent is still barely felt. The third break in the wide path brings a few steep climbs to Poiana Drester and beyond. You have an opportunity to see a barely visible panorama towards Brașov above Poiena Drester, and soon you come out into the wide path connecting most of the trails leading to Poiana Ruia, and then to Poiana Brașov, with a detour to Postăvaru Cabin.
