Get ready for a relaxed ride from Timișoara to Recaș! This 34-km route is a great way to leave the city bustle behind and soak in the laid-back western Romanian countryside. You’ll start in Timișoara, a vibrant city famous for its parks, Secessionist architecture, and buzzing squares—don’t forget to check out Unirii Square before you roll out!

Most of your journey will be pretty chill, following tracks and quieter roads, with barely any climbing—so it’s more about spinning the wheels than grinding up hills. While about a third of the route is on paved roads, some segments have less defined surfaces, so a hybrid or sturdy road bike will serve you best.
