There are plenty of options to trek from Brașov to Poiana Brașov, and this is one of them. An extremely accessible hike for anyone, in any season.

We started from Pietrele lui Solomon (at the end of the Schei area) and followed the Postavaru trail, for a slightly more rugged route. After exiting the forest into the wide and paved bike path, we simply followed it, without other turning points.
From Poiana Brasov, we returned to the old road - the classic route.
