By bicycle from Iași to Aroneanu

If you’re up for a lovely little ride out of the city, this route from Iași to Aroneanu is just the thing. You’ll pedal a bit over 6.7 km, starting in Iași—a lively place known as Romania’s “cultural capital,” famous for its grand university and historic churches.

As you roll north, you’ll leave the urban buzz for quieter roads and gentle countryside. About half this ride is pretty peaceful, with only short sections sharing with busier traffic. Expect a nice mix—paved stretches through neighborhoods give way to tracks cutting across fields, and you’ll definitely feel the countryside vibes as you climb a total of almost 190 meters.

You finish up in Aroneanu, a tranquil village perched above the lakes northeast of Iași. It’s a perfect spot to recharge by the water or enjoy a bite at a local guesthouse before heading back. Keep in mind, not every section is silky-smooth asphalt, so a sturdy bike and a sense of adventure will serve you well!
