Buila, un munte cat o zi de toamna

Buila, un munte misterios pentru mine, de multa vreme. Cand stateam in Cluj tot auzeam de el, ca ar fi pe langa Valcea, dar nu-l puteam identifica. Din Bucuresti, lucrurile pareau mai clare, iar in drumurile noastre spre zona Tg. Jiu am avut ocazia sa-l vad de departe. In sfarsit, a venit vremea sa-l cunosc. Si cum nu se prea preteaza de pedalat, inseamna ca e perfect de... alergat. Asa ca am dus la indeplinire un nou proiect de-al nostru, Buila Run, care arata cam asa: 33 km, aproape 2000 m diferenta de nivel si peisaje de vis. Traseul l-am pus pe Runmap, iata cum arata:

Vineri seara, am parcat masina undeva pe drumul intre schitul Iezer si Pahomie, pe valea Cheii, langa o masuta cu bancute, pentru a innopta si a fi gata de atac dimineata devreme. Intre timp, am incercat si mini-gratarul primit cadou (o mica tavita cu gratar peste ea). A iesit o cina delicioasa:

Cina alergatorului de cursa lunga

Gratarul nu-i treaba usoara

Sambata dimineata, dupa o portie de spaghete la primus (reteta noastra de criza), parcam masina la intersectia cu drumul spre Pahomie si ne echipam de "atac".

1. Intersectie - intrare traseu Stevioara - 30 minute

Ne incalzim...

Traseul incepe cu o urcare destul de inclinata pe forestier, pana la manastirea Pahomie, un schit deosebit de frumos, asezat la baza stancilor. Merita vizitat! Dupa schit, am mai urcat un pic pe drum pana la intrarea in traseul spre saua Stevioara. Pana aici am facut 30 minute.

2. Pahomie - Saua Stevioara - 1:10 h

Castigam altitudine...

Aceasta este cea mai dificila bucata de traseu. Poteca urca pieptis, intai pana la stana, apoi si mai pieptis pana in creasta. Sageata din drum indica 4 - 4:30 h. Eu mi-as fi dorit sa ne incadram intr-o ora, dar n-a fost sa fie. E destul de mult de urcat. Asa ca, dupa cam 1:10 h de la drum, poposim pentru 15 minute in Saua Stevioara, pentru o pauza de banana. Creasta e minunata, exact cum imi place mie: domoala de parcurs, dar cu abrupturi stancoase extraordinare. Vremea nu era prea stralucita, asa ca nu mai facem ocolul pana pe Vanturarita si hotaram sa continuam pe creasta.

3. Saua Stevioara - Curmatura Builei - Muntele Cacova - 1 h

Pe buza abruptului

Refugiul refacut din Curmatura Builei

Hornul si traseul dupa refugiu

Din nou, sageata ne ameninta cu 4 h pana la Muntele Cacova. Aici nu mai stiu ce sa zic, habar n-am cat e. Oricum, in ceva mai putin de 30 minute, poposim la refugiul din Curmatura Builei. E refacut si e gata sa primeasca o gramada de vizitatori. Mi-am rezervat timp sa completez in fuga un chestionar ce se afla pe masa. Dupa aceea, am continuat printr-un horn superb si in continuare pe creasta. Marcajul este foarte sporadic si, ca o consecinta, cararea e inexistenta, fiecare o ia pe unde vrea. Noi am luat-o pe un picior in stanga, pana la un mic lac, apoi am iesit din nou in creasta. Am traversat peste muntele Cacova si am ajuns la intersectia cu traseul triunghi rosu de cabana Cheia intr-o ora din Stevioara.

4. Muntele Cacova - Cabana Cheia - 2 h


  Wanna run?

Ma asteptam ca bucata urmatoare, pe sub abrupturile vestice ale muntelui, sa fie cea mai frumoasa parte a traseului. Asa si este. Chiar daca o prima bucata traseul merge prin padure, pe curba de nivel (perfect de alergat), pe la jumatatea crestei el urca brusc pana in poienile de sub abrupt. Peisajul este impresionant. Unul dintre cele mai frumoase locuri prin care am alergat!
Traseul continua apoi din nou prin padure, traversand mai multe valcele. Pe unul dintre ele, am dat de un strat consistent de bile de gheata, Nu imi inchipui ce pot sa fie: firn de asta iarna? Daca da, s-a pastrat foarte bine cu toata canicula. O grindina recenta? Daca da, n-as fi vrut sa fiu pe acolo cand s-a intamplat. Gheata era sub forma de bile, cu diametrul mediu de peste 1 cm.

Bilute de gheata, pana la genunchi

Dupa ce se desparte de traseul cu banda albastra ce o ia spre creasta Capatanii si de punctul galben spre Curmatura Oale (pe unde aveam noi planul initial sa ne intoarcem, dar am hotarat sa mai lungim tura), traseul coboara prin padure pe o poteca ce tine linia unui foarte vechi drum de tractor, pana la cabana Cheia. O alta bucata perfecta de alergat.

Usurel la vale

La cabana Cheia, cabanierul a fost incantat de oaspeti si ne-a servit si cu un ceai delicios de menta, din partea casei. Nu am putut sa nu stam vreo 20-30 minute sa savuram ceaiul si peisajul. Cabanierul ne imbia cu o intoarcere pe Brana Caprelor. Noi insistam ca vrem pe drum, care (credeam noi) are vreo 7-8 km. Si pentru noi intre o brana (marea mea "iubire") si o alergare frumoasa pe forestier, nici nu a fost greu de ales.

5. Cabana Cheia - tunel - Valea Cheia (1 h) - intersectie Pahomie (cam 30 minute)

Savurand un ceai la cabana

La iesire din tunel

Drumul urca bine de la cabana pana la tunelul care permite acestuia sa iasa din chei. Am alergat placut, in urcare. Exista si o scurtatura de la cabana direct la tunel, dar nu ne place: e mai scurta, nu? Apoi urmeaza coborarea luuuuuunga cu serpentine. Cam intr-o ora de la cabana am ajuns inapoi in firul vaii Cheia, iar apoi, dupa ceva mai putin de 30 minute, am ajuns inapoi la masina. Drumul de la cabana pana la masina a avut cam 13 km, nu 8 cum credeam noi.

Tura a durat cam 6:30 h, din care 4:50 h de mers. De la masina e dat ca timp turistic 5 h pana in Stevioara. Ne-am incadrat cu toata tura in timpul acesta :) Oricum, muntele e prea frumos sa treci prin el alergand, asa ca am avut si un total de 1:45 ore de pauze, in care am admirat si am facut poze.

Sambata seara ne-am dus la Draganesti, unde ne-am reintalnit cu Castor si cu noua lui prietena, Suzi, pe care o iubeste mult si cu care se joaca toata ziua:


Pozele le-am pus pe Webshots.
