Get ready for an epic bike adventure from Brașov to Cârţişoara! Starting in Brașov—a lively Transylvanian city packed with medieval charm and surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains—you’ll wind your way through about 131 km of wild Romanian landscapes. The journey will take you over rolling hills and up some serious climbs, gaining over 1,500 meters in elevation (and losing even a bit more, so there’s payback on those tough uphills!).

Expect a mix of road surfaces: you’ll hit plenty of asphalt and paved roads, but also tackle stretches of gravel and unpaved paths. Dramatic scenery comes with the territory, especially as you approach the Făgăraș Mountains near Cârţişoara. The tiny village of Cârţişoara is famous as the gateway to the famous Transfăgărășan—one of the world’s most spectacular roads.

This ride isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re up for it, you’ll score epic mountain views, peaceful forests, and a taste of old-world Romania. Don’t forget to pack for changing conditions and grab a bite in Brașov before you set off!
