Cycling day trip from Tulcea to Chilia Veche

Start your cycling adventure in the charming city of Tulcea, the gateway to the beautiful Danube Delta in Romania. Once you set off, you'll mainly be navigating tracks, with a good portion of your ride coursing through warm gravel under the wheels, making it a quintessential adventure for gravel bike enthusiasts.

As you pedal away from Tulcea, look out for stunning natural landscapes and perhaps some wildlife, as the Delta is bursting with biodiversity. The route covers around 78 kilometers, so be sure to pack some snacks and water. Most of the riding will be on quiet roads, perfect for taking in the tranquility of the countryside.

Your destination, Chilia Veche, is an intriguing village with a history dating back to Byzantine times. It's located right on the border with Ukraine and boasts a quaint, rustic charm. You'll find the descent into the village a nice welcome after the small climbs and descents along the way.

Remember, this ride is more about enjoying the journey and the remote beauty of Romania than speed. So take your time, stop for photos, and perhaps even make a friend or two with the locals along the way. Enjoy the ride!
