Route condition - the route is composed of forest roads and trails, the only asphalted sections being at the departure and arrival in the urban area. Along the entire length of the route there are Feriga Trail signs, and the ridge part was arranged by The Golden Trails.

The route leaves from the stadium area, up on the Usturoiul Valley. After the road exits the city and enters the forest, we meet the first directional Feriga Trail panel on the left side of the road, after which we will follow these panels until we reach Feriga Peak. To reach Feriga Peak, we go through the road that climbs meandering, we pass the indicator to Route 66 and 200 m after it, we will take it to the left. To get on the top, we have a direct variant of climbing, in case we ride the e-bike or we can use the "chicken line" that goes to the left and describes two serpentines, in case we ride a bike without electrical assistance. Once in Feriga Peak, we prepare for the descent and we will approach the Feriga 2 Trail, which leaves from the main path to the right side and is marked with blue directional panels. Following these panels we will get to descend into the valley, up from the Magura Restaurant. Before we descend, we will intersect with a road and make it to the right, following this road until we reach a glade area, which we will bypass through the left side. We will travel the rest of the way until we reach the Magura Restaurant and from there on Valea Roşie Street. The Feriga Trail were arranged by The Golden Trails.
