The 2nd highest peak in Romania after Moldoveanu, Negoiu (2535 m), and a beautiful but hard trail, are located in Southern Carpathians, in the Făgăraș Mountains. We almost reached the peak before a sprained ankle cut our journey off the mountain towards the end of the summer season, but we promised ourselves to return in a few years.
There are a few ways you can get back to the start point, either a circular trail or out-and-back. If you chose the circular trail you can either include Lespezi Peak (2522 m) or bypass it.
