What's this trip about?

    Romania is a special country and probably one of the most underrated cycling destinations in Europe. With mountains to rival the Alps, countryside to compare with the best anywhere in Europe, surprisingly good roads with very little traffic and thousands of years of history, we think Romania has it all and at a price that beats anywhere. Our Touring Transylvania is the ideal introduction to cycling in Romania. The riding is just amazing. A mix of empty country roads, with a sprinkling of gravel and off-road trails and lots of scenic rest stops and cultural visits along the way as we criss-cross the Transylvanian countryside.

Day 1

Our services start with a pick-up in Bucharest and transfer to Talisoara (total transfer time 3.5 hours) where we start our adventure. Tălișoara is a quiet and pretty village and we will aim to arrive in time for a warm-up ride in the surrounding countryside to get y...

Day 2

This morning, after an excellent breakfast in the castle, we will ride right out of the gates and into rural Transylvania. Our route takes us along the Olt River, passing through medieval villages that have changed little over the centuries such as Vârghis, Dacia a...

Day 3

Today we have another beautiful day lined up and it's well worth getting up early and taking a morning walk around Viscri before or after breakfast. Again, we ride directly from our accommodation heading west towards Dacia and Jibert villages, before crossing a wild f...

Day 4

From Cincsor we ride north to a delightful village in rural Transylvania called Dealu Frumos, which translates as “the beautiful hill” and is considered to be the geographical centre of Romania. Our ride takes us along pleasant rural roads passing several more Saxon v...

Day 5

After another delightful Romanian breakfast, we ride out of Sighisoara following gentle country roads towards Malancrav. Today we will ride a wonderful off-road trail through the villages of Stejareni and Bethlen castle to Prod village (there is an asphalt option if preferred) where we can take a rest and enjoy the lovely pastoral views.

Day 6

Today's cycling journey starts with a very pleasant pedal to Biertan village, which was the very first of Transylvania’s villages to receive UNESCO status. The impressive fortifications, imposing walls and soaring spires set against a backdrop of the green hills make...

Day 7

Depending on your ongoing plans, we will drop you off at Sibu International Airport for your flight or arrange a transfer back to Bucharest (4 hours drive). This trip ends in Sibu, which is a great place to stay and explore for a few days. Please contact us if you would like us to help make arrangements.
