this city was a bitt dificult for us, poeple from the patrol station told us that the road to Brezoi is closed or something like that- you should check it before you plan to continue east. in the end of the city there is a nice patrol station for those who try to get to bucharest, or somewhere south. to bucharest try to get through - Targu- Valcea-Pitesti-Bucharest.―Anonymous

Usually we waited 15/30 minutes to get a ride, and in Romania is a lot! Try to hitchhike a little bit far from the center (there are a lot of "local hitchhekers") in the main street that go to the north. If you come from Targu Jiu/Craiova (the south part of Romania) Petrosani is a obligatory step: anyway, if you can, try to skip this city :)―Anonymous

The stop at the base of the teleskiThere is a mountain rescue post, where you can ask for help or even emergency accommodation.
It's been easy to find a ride to Petrosani. There is a water spring 100m up the adjacent country road.

Quite dangerous spot. It would be better to hitchhike in the Tartarau Pass. There is no shoulder to stand. The traffic is low.―baster45
