Picturesque waterfall in the forest
Don't expect to see Niagara; it's all about the entire hike, not just the waterfall. Follow the red spot trail from the main cable way station and you'll reach the waterfall in about one hour. Its name sais it all - the Screaming Waterfall (translated from Romanian). It's very refreshing to stand next to it and feel the droplets on the face in a sunny day. Best to be visited after some rainy days, I guess. All in all, Busteni is an ugly town with spectacular surroundings and Urlatoarea waterfall is definitely one of them.

Beautiful on winter
We went on winter, with snow. The waterfall isn't very spectacular, I think I would'nt go on summer, but the trail is very beautiful, and the snow and the ice makes everything more interesting. The waterfall was frozen, and there were some shapes really interesting. The whole path goes through and impressive forest, full of really tall trees. The path is very easy, but in winter, it is a little bit slippery because of the ice. Is a very popular trail, so there's a lot of people stepping on the snow and, therefore, there is ice on some parts of the path. We were equiped with trekking sticks and this helped us very much not to fall, but local people were walking without any help and they moved really fast, they are used to snow :) This isn't a circular trail, but you can turn it into one. There are two paths to arrive to the waterfall, we left the car in the street Urlatoarei, beetween Poiana Tapului and Busteni and we started the trail on the top of the street. Once in the waterfall, the trail continues and arrives to Busteni, near to the Cable Car. From there to the car there were 15-20 minutes walking near the road number 1. It was a great experience!
