After a work meeting in the Paraul Rece area the weather was incredibly good so I could not miss the local offroad opportunities.
Starting on DN73A (from Predeal to Rasnov), at the bottom of the descent there is a small road to the right, going “up” to “the priests”. I firs took that road, which was taken care of, almost completely cleaned of snow.
However, I suggest wearing chains if you go on snow, because I did get stuck with the Simex tyres after one 180 degrees turn – the tires were polishing the icy snow and the car was stuck. I had a winch so I was able to move the car to get some snow under the wheels.
Here’s the track, the sinuos road to the left is DN73A (Predeal – Rasnov), after descending from Paraul Rece
Track to "la calugari"
It was fun for a warm up, and also a great opportunity to take some (nice?) photos:

Very quick we went back because the action until now was NOT (!) enough 
For convenience we took the same road, did not bother to explore the possibility to go directly downhill:

Back on the DN73A road we turned right, and headed to Rasnov, where we were instructed to take “Drumul Glajeriei” up to it’s end, and then on a forest road to Tohanul Nou. I am having a rough time trying to draw this on the map (I can not find enough points and I did not have GPS with me), so I will only be able to show you the beautiful sites I encountered:
Unidentified Forest Road
WCR - tracks
Emerging Victorious
And just look at the glorious finish of the forest road:
