Cycling day trip from Crivina to Slon

Ready for a little mountain adventure? This ride kicks off in the quiet village of Crivina, nestled at the foot of Romania’s Subcarpathian hills. From there, you’ll roll out on a wild and scenic route—expect gravel, loose surfaces, and plenty of nature (you’ll want a mountain bike for this one). The route is mostly off the beaten track, with forest paths, farm tracks, and just a short touch of tarmac.

It’s not short on climbs either: you’ll gain over 1,300 meters as you wind your way through lush forests, with glimpses of the Ciucas Mountains peeking through. The highest point hits about 1,440 meters—breathtaking in all senses!

After a big descent, the route finishes in sleepy Slon, a typical Prahova county village, popular as a starting point for more hiking or biking into the beautiful valleys around. Don’t forget to pack some snacks and maybe even a camera—this is one for the memory books!
