The tourist path is well marked, well-trodden and easy to follow.

We had no GPS decades ago, so the tracks provided lack timing.

Mapy.cz is perfect for navigation there.

There are several water sources on the trail, but sometimes the springs are just dripping or completely dry, so it's worth planning ahead to have alternatives, or you might need to descend for the water from the ridge. It's better to avoid getting water from lakes, except for an emergency.

There are many bears in the area. The main problem is around Trans-Făgărașan where tourists started to feed them from cars and they łost their natural shyness and sometimes can get aggressive. Do not feed bears and try to avoid them. Don't leave food in the tent, but hang it on a tree.
