Route Băile Herculane - Crucea Albă-Izvorul Jelarau-Culmea Munților Mehedinți
Distance: 7 km
Duration: 4 hours
Marking: Blue cross
Difficulty level: Low
The route starts from behind the Cerna Hotel, on Domogled Street.
The route to the White Cross climbs in serpentines, the last part of it being narrower and can be a problem for those who are sick of heights.
From Crucea Albă, the path leaves to the right the yellow band path that goes up to Vârful Domogled.
This route plunges into the forest and descends until it reaches the line of the Jelărău Valley, which it follows upstream, to the east, between rock walls. After the climb through the gorge, it doesn't take long to reach the Jelărău spring.
Leaving behind the Jelărău spring, continue for about 1 km on the path that leads to Podeni.
