Făgăraș Mountains Again

In September I took my way to the Făgăraș Mountains again though I was there a month ago. :)

I stopped after Torockó at the Vălișoarei Gorge:

Retezat Mountains: Waterfalls Instead Of Rhododendrons

I set out to Retezat Mountains for Rhododendrons but it was over. So I had to be satisfied with waterfalls and lakes:

Rodna Mountains: Looking For Rhododendrons

This year I visited tha Lala Lakes again hoping to admire the sight of mountain slopes full of rhododendrons.

In the first evening I climbed on the crest and the Ineu peak to admire the sunset. Other people came up here for the same reason:




Next day at dawn:


Sunrise at Big Lala Lake:


I was hoping to see more rhododendron flowers but unfortunately this year they were not in full bloom yet.
I decided not to stay one more night, instead I would go down and visit the Horses waterfall next morning:
