We walk mostly on even ground, it's like a small hill. We reach meadows with horses and before our eyes lies a dense fir forest.

But, hey, slope, you won't annoy me today as I can't wait to get to that lonely stone and ask her what's her story.<\/p><p>As we leave the forest, it seems as the slope mellowed a bit, but along with her, my patience dropped as well. I don't feel good about the next slope that seems to be taking us nowhere. Grrrr.<\/p><p>But I'm surprised to see that as we reach the top, the cabin appears before my eyes and next to its right it's the famous lonely stone..that, actually seems lonely.

As if all the rocks around just fled from her way. \u00a0<\/p><p>There are a lot of people here today but we were able to find a nice spot right at the rock's feet. We arrived early and we can enjoy this beautiful place and the warm light that goes through the forest and reaches us in many thin rays.<\/p><p>I tuck in my sleeping bag and I lay in the sun, enjoying its warmth, the sound of wind through the trees and the happy people around us.\u00a0<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7901 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200808_193534-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200808_193534-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200808_193534-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200808_193534-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200808_193534-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200808_193534-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200808_193534-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><p>Many are reading, laughing, running around, chilling in their hammocks or in front of their tents. It's only the stone that's looking at us, majestically. I wonder if I can climb up there. I look at her and feel her loneliness. Many come here, admiring her, photographing her. But few go up there, straight into her heart.\u00a0<\/p><p>Next to us, a girl is looking at her and writes something in a notebook. I get closer and notice that she is actually not writing, but drawing Piatra Singuratic\u0103 in all her might. How beautiful! I wish I could do that too.<\/p><p>I tell Mamarmot I want to climb the rock and she tells me we will be climbing tomorrow. But today let's go closer to her and in her surroundings. We find some places where we can see faraway crests, where we can return later to enjoy the sunset, We climb a little into Piatra Singuratic\u0103's heart. Although we are not far, all the humming from below cannot be heard anymore and the silence is still. Only the wind sings from time to time as it passes in haste through the rocks.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7904 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200809_081228-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200809_081228-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200809_081228-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200809_081228-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200809_081228-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200809_081228-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_20200809_081228-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><p>Now I get it.

It feels like the forest speaks. I imagine how the rock tells me her tale. It sees that she was part of a big mountain in a place where the wind blew strong. The mountain said it wanted to move a little lower, so the wind won't freeze its crests anymore. maybe a bit to the left, or to the right. But Piatra Singuratic\u0103 loved the sunset so much, she did not wanted to move. Then the mountain told her it will split into three and will leave towards the sunset and she will stay alone forever. But she stood her ground. She loved how the sunset looked like from here. The mountain left but she stayed, looking at the sunset as I look at it now.\u00a0<\/p><p>I wake up from daydreaming and I'm not sure whether I imagined or the forest actually spoke to me.\u00a0<\/p><p>Darkness took over and the people already started a camp fire.
