Cycling day trip from Râşnov to Brasov

Set off from the medieval town of Râşnov, famous for its impressive hilltop fortress and sweeping Carpathian views. This ride to Brașov is a scenic 21 km route—not too long, but with just enough ups and downs to keep things interesting (about 87 meters of climbing and 157 meters of descent). Most of the path runs on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, though you’ll hit a few gravel and ground sections, adding a bit of adventure without going too wild.

As you wind through the peaceful countryside, you’ll pass by farmland and patches of woodland, with the Bucegi Mountains in the distance. The road eventually brings you into lively Brașov, a city known for its medieval old town, charming cobbled squares, and the iconic Black Church. In short, this is a perfect ride to link two of Transylvania’s best towns, mixing history, mountain views, and just a touch of rustic backroad. Great for an easy-going day in the saddle!
