Ciucaș, Autumn Day Hike
One day, 5.9 km on foot, 375 m of climb
12 October 2019
Read from a single GPS-tracked workout starting at Măneciu, Prahova, with elevation profile and timing.
The argument
One autumn day, 5.9 km of trail and 375 m of climb up out of Măneciu into the Ciucaș range, reaching about 1,952 m at its highest. A same-day drive-and-hike with no overnight - and a day the corpus remembers only as a workout track, no photos, so the story here is the GPS line and the elevation curve and what we know of the mountain. Ciucaș is the quieter ridge east of the Prahova Valley, the classic Bucharest day-hike for people who want the Carpathians without the Bucegi crowds.
