The route starts from Baia Mare on Valea Roșie street, from the entrance area to Regina Maria Park (Athos restaurant/kiddie train). In front of that entrance, we go up Valea Roșie street to Măgura restaurant, on the asphalt road, for about 900m. Before the house with number 205, which is on the left side of the asphalt road on Valea Roșie street, we enter the path that goes to the top of Tolvaj Denes Peak. From here there will be about another 900m of trail. From the house with number 205 go up the path for a distance of about 600m. The path is well-maintained/walked on, being used by the locals. After 600m on the path, we reach a glade, where the last inhabited house is located. There are ahead only 300m of path through the forest, following the route marked with the BLUE CROSS. At the top of the trail, before reaching the top, the path is steeper, so be careful not to slip. The path is winding, therefore support sticks are required.

We warn you that once you reach the top, you should not approach the steep edge, in order to avoid the risk of an accident. The descent is made on the same route as the ascent.
