Cycling day trip from Sibiu to Sighișoara

Get ready for an adventure through the heart of Transylvania! Starting in the charming city of Sibiu, known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and vibrant cultural scene, you'll embark on a scenic 120 km ride to the historic town of Sighișoara. On your way, you’ll conquer rolling hills with a total ascent of nearly 2000 meters, so make sure your legs are up for the challenge! This ride mainly takes you off the beaten path, with over half the journey on tracks and quiet roads, perfect for soaking up the serene countryside views. You’ll find a mix of surfaces, mostly natural and gravel, which suits a mountain bike or sturdy hybrid perfectly. During this trip, marvel at the rustic beauty of rural Romania and keep an eye out for picturesque traditional villages peeping through the landscape. Once you reach Sighișoara, reward yourself with its fairy-tale atmosphere, famous for being the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, the real-life inspiration for Dracula. Take your time to explore the colorful streets, and be sure to check out the UNESCO-listed Sighișoara Citadel. This journey is as much about the ride as it is about experiencing the rich tapestry of Romanian history and culture. Enjoy every pedal!
