Approach
The easiest way of getting to Egyeskő is via Balánbánya (Bălan in Romanian). The nearest train stop is at Csíkszentdomokos village (the name of the station is Izvoru Oltului). From there you must continue further by bus, hitch-hike or walk (11 km). Approaching by car, you shall leave the main road DN-12 at Csíkszentdomokos (Sândominic in Romanian) towards Bălan/Balánbánya. Head for the center of the town.
There are two marked trails leading up to Egyeskő from the town. If you choose the one that follows the valley of Szép (Sep) creek, drive through the town until its other end. If you wish to hike the one along the valley of Kovács (Fierarului) creek, then take a right turn from the main street at the roman catholic church (there will be a parking lot sign as well) into Kovács-patak street. Soon you will see the small parking lot on your left, where you shall leave the car. From here, continue the journey on foot, following the tourist trail signs.
Albeit less comfortable, it is more adventurous to approach Egyeskő backpacking on the main ridge of Hagymás Mountains (Munţii Hăşmaş) starting from either Gyimes (Ghimeş), or the popular Békás Gorge (Cheile Bicazului). The ridge is marked by a tourist trail from both directions. This kind of approach requires more time and energy, but it offers a much wilder outdoor experience in change.
