Summary/Abstract: The second part of this article focuses on Al. Odobescu’s activity which may be related, more or less, to the county of Buzău. Starting from several interesting features, selected on the basis of received answers to his Questionnaire, Odobescu carried on a series of explorations, the most significant moment of which was, by far, the discovery of an unknown complex of rupestral vestiges, former hermitages and monk cells. We will spatially investigate all the testimonies of his travels and explorations with the purpose of discovering all the places he had actually visited, in an attempt to reconstruct Odobescu’s activity in the county of Buzău. We will take care to relate any archive document, water-color painting or other various evidences with the already published facts by Odobescu along his entire career.
