You need to continue on DC 65 cca. 2,0 km, through Casoca village, until you arrive at a point where the asphalt road turns into a dirt road. From this point you have cca. 4,0 km of dirt road until you reach Casoca Waterfall. On the way you will pass 14 Scaune Chalet**, which is opened for turists.
Follow the dirt road towards your goal until you reach an intersection with a dirt road to the right. You will know you have reached the correct location because this road crosses the mountain river over a bridge, also being the only other dirt road encountered so far (please see the location on Google Maps). This road section should not pose problems for any type of car.
Stop here because you have to take the path that is on the left of the bridge, and climbes down to Casoca Waterfall. There is a small wooden sign that indicates the location. GPS coordinates: N 45°31'35" E 26°18'1".
