Făgăraș, Sâmbăta Day Hike
One day, 7.1 km on foot, 447 m of climb
27 April 2023
Read from a single GPS-tracked workout starting at Sâmbăta de Sus, Brașov (45.65 · 24.79), with elevation profile.
The argument
7.1 km · 447 m ascent from Sâmbăta de Sus — the Sâmbăta monastery valley, the western flank of the Făgăraș range. The trailhead sits at the canonical Făgăraș approach for hikers coming from Brașov or Sibiu; the upper ridge holds Romania’s highest summits (Moldoveanu, Negoiu), though this workout reaches ~1,366 m — a foothill day, not a ridge crossing. The trip is the hike: a same-day drive, single GPS line, no photos in the cluster.
