For a round trip including the transalpina, head west from Vale and follow the blue marking counter-clockwise.
You can choose between a longer and a shorter route:
The longer one will take you through the most scenic part of the Transalpina, which lies south of Ranca.
If you prefer the shorter one (4 hrs), cut eastward at Obarsia Lotrului, and turn north through the Olt valley to Sibiu.
This tour is likewise highly recommendable.
