What are these tracks? (Piatra Craiului)
Hi everyone,
as I am currently visiting the beautiful Romania, I decided to go on my first hike today in Piatra Craiului (roundtrip starting around Cabana Cascoe to Cerdacul Stanciului and back). As I was about 2 hours into the hike, I started to walk in the clouds and the atmosphere became a bit spooky (second photo).
Then I also came across these two huge tracks (first photo). Of course, I first thought of a bear but I think this is a bit too big, or is it??? 😳 Is someone more experienced with this and has an answer?
As it was still a few 100 meters to go up and the weather did not clear up for a good view, I called it a day and walked back. Still enjoyed the beautiful forest and tree colors (third photo) after the rainy day yesterday.
Thanks, and stay safe everyone!✌️
