Cycling day trip from Huedin to Beliş

Get ready for a wild ride from Huedin to Beliș! This 45 km route takes you from the historic market town of Huedin—famous for its colorful palaces and lively Romani community—straight into the heart of the Apuseni Mountains.

You’ll start with a nice stretch on quiet roads, but be prepared: this route gets adventurous, with more than 40% on tracks and a good chunk of unpaved surfaces. Expect some serious climbing (over 1400 meters of ascent!) as you make your way through rolling hills and forested areas. The landscape turns wilder as you approach Beliș, a charming mountain village known for its scenic Beliș-Fântânele lake and cool, alpine air.

Pack extra snacks and plenty of water, because shops can be few and far between, and cell signal might not always be reliable. You’ll get epic views and a real taste of Transylvanian countryside—just be ready for the ride!
