Petroşani to Petrila
Here’s a relaxed cycling route that meanders from Petroşani to Petrila, two former mining towns nestled in Romania's scenic Jiu Valley. The ride covers about 11 km and mostly follows quiet, paved roads—perfect for a leisurely pedal, whether you're stretching your legs or exploring the local vibe.
You’ll start in Petroşani, which is not only the biggest town in the valley but also a cultural melting pot, thanks to its mining history and proximity to the Parâng Mountains. The route features a gentle climb (expect just over 100 meters of ascent, nothing too dramatic) as the landscape transitions from lively town scenes to peaceful countryside. Most of your ride (about 80%) is smooth asphalt, with only short stretches where the surface is a bit more rustic or gravelly.
You’ll end up in Petrila, a town with its own character—and a quirky, artsy edge thanks to local projects breathing new life into old industrial spaces. Expect friendly faces and, if the weather’s on your side, some really lovely views along the way!
