Strunga Doamnei (Lady’s Gully)

2A | PD | II Edit route
Strunga Doamnei is another named alpine line on Negoiu, typically treated as a less severe alternative to Strunga Dracului. It follows a steep gully system with short rocky passages and exposed terrain. The route is documented in Romanian mountain literature as a mountaineering ascent, not merely a hiking trail. Snow and ice can increase the seriousness considerably, especially outside the dry season. It is suitable only for parties comfortable with exposed mountain terrain and route-finding. The exact difficulty depends strongly on conditions.

Strunga Dracului (Dragon’s Gully)

3A | AD | III
Strunga Dracului is the best-known mountaineering line on Negoiu and is documented as a serious alpine route rather than a simple hiking path. It is a steep gully/rock route on the mountain’s north side, with exposed sections and route-finding that can be complicated by snow or ice. In summer it is a scrambling and climbing objective; in winter or mixed conditions it becomes significantly more serious. The route is generally considered the classic technical ascent of Negoiu. It is not a protected via ferrata, and parties should expect loose rock and exposure. Conditions can make the difficulty vary substantially.
