To drive to the crag you take the DN12C road which passes through Bicaz Gorges (Cheile Bicazului). The parking area is about 200m distance from the point you walk up the path to the crag, through the forest. The crag is in a secluded area in the forest.
Coordinates for the path leading to Plus Crag: 46.806794, 25.811675; Look for the cairns on the side of the road - you can even check them out on Google Maps. The path is pretty clear but there are at least three fallen trees on the way. You can easily step over them. Some areas are a bit steep and can be slippery when wet. There are cairns on the way that mark the path to the crag. Sometimes, usually when the climbing season begins, we find that most of the cairns are disassembled, probably because of the weather or wildlife. During the climbing season they are reassembled.
There is a camping area (Camping Cheile Bicazului) approximately 1km from the path leading to the crag. Mobile signal is poor in the area so ask the locals for Istvan Camping if you're having trouble finding it.
