How to get to it?

What awaits on the slopes?
Below is a forest, closer to the top it disappears, and in its place are rocky outcrops and thickets of mountain pine. The summit is bald, so the view is not obscured by anything.
Is it a difficult climb?
The north-eastern and south-western slopes are quite steep, so it will not be an easy walk. For a hike along the Carpathian ridge - a worthy test.
