Cycle Route: Cluj-Napoca to Beliș

Ready for a true Transylvanian adventure? This ride takes you from the heart of Cluj-Napoca, a vibrant city known for its student life and historic squares, all the way to the peaceful mountain village of Beliș, nestled near Lake Beliș-Fântânele in the Apuseni Mountains.

The journey covers about 93 km with a hefty 3557 m of climbing—so get your legs (and brakes) ready. Expect a mix of surfaces: about a quarter is nice asphalt, but most of your ride weaves across tracks, gravel, and even the occasional cobblestone patch. You'll enjoy quiet country roads more than anything, rolling through forests, picturesque villages, and some impressive mountain scenery, especially as you climb to just over 1300 meters in elevation.

Beliș is a perfect end-point: a small, relaxing spot surrounded by cool pine forests and the sparkling lake, popular for its quiet beauty and hiking trails. Definitely well-deserved after such a ride. Don’t forget your camera—and maybe a snack for the road!
