Quick ride by bicycle from Cluj-Napoca to Feleacu

Get ready for a rewarding ride from vibrant Cluj-Napoca to the scenic village of Feleacu! Starting in the heart of Transylvania’s biggest city, you’ll quickly leave the urban buzz behind and begin a steady climb south. This 10km route is quite the workout, gaining almost 400 meters in elevation—so be prepared for some leg-burning ascents as you wind through quiet roads and rustic tracks.

Don’t worry about traffic; most of the ride follows peaceful country lanes and paths, letting you soak in open views over Cluj’s rooftops as you get higher. About half of the way is unpaved (bring your gravel or trekking bike!), but that just adds to the adventure as you approach Feleacu, a hilltop village famous for its television transmitter and panoramic views of the city and surrounding hills.

Once you reach Feleacu, catch your breath and enjoy the picturesque scenery—you’ve definitely earned it! This route is perfect if you want a short but challenging escape from the city with a taste of authentic rural Transylvania.
