Cycling day trip from Ghioșești to Câmpina

This ride takes you from the peaceful village of Ghioșești down to the lively town of Câmpina, rolling through approximately 22 km of varied terrain. Expect some uphill stretches early on (with a climb of about 400 meters) before enjoying a steady descent toward your destination. The route is a mix, mostly on quiet paved or asphalt roads, but you’ll also encounter a bit of unpaved, gravel, and even some cobblestone—so a bike with sturdy tires is recommended.

Starting from Ghioșești, a charming and quiet spot surrounded by hills, you’ll get a taste of rural Romanian scenery before winding your way south. You’ll finish in Câmpina, a historic town famous for its salt springs and as a gateway to the Prahova Valley. The roads are largely traffic-free, making it a relaxing choice whether you’re riding solo or with friends. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a stroll in Câmpina’s central park or visit the Nicolae Grigorescu Memorial Museum after your ride!
