The route starts from Baia Mare, on Colonia Topitorilor street, near the Drinking Water Plant, on the Vicleanu Valley to Bodi Ferneziu Lake. Once we reach the lake, we will bypass it through the right side and climb a little more to descend afterwards into Ferneziu. Arriving in the residential area, we will go down to the main road Baia Mare - Firiza, which we will cross and take it to Mina Herja. Before we reach the former administrative buildings of the mine, we will take it to the right to climb the Bulat Forest Road. We will reach the top of the hill, from where we will have a delightful view over the valley and the Firiza dam. We will continue on this road until we reach the end of it, where after we climb a rather steep ramp, we will take it to the right to go down to Tăuții de Sus. From Tăuții de Sus we will take it to the right to get back to Baia Mare.
