Cycling day trip from Braşov to Câmpina

Kick things off in Braşov, a charming city surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, known for its medieval Saxon walls and stunning Black Church. As you pedal away, prepare yourself for a captivating journey spanning roughly 104 kilometers to the destination of Câmpina. This ride isn’t for the faint-hearted—there’s a considerable ascent of over 3,100 meters, peaking at an elevation of about 1,878 meters. Thankfully, the views along the way are totally worth it!

Your route will mostly take you down tracks and quiet roads, so it's a chance to really soak in the Romanian countryside. Your wheels will spin over a mix of surfaces: some asphalt, a bit of gravel and ground, with over 40% of paths being of unknown material, adding a touch of adventure to your trip. Expect a few busy roads—about 7% of the way—so stay alert there.

Eventually, you'll roll into Câmpina, a town nestled in the Prahova Valley, famous for its oil wells and the charming B.P. Hasdeu Memorial Museum. Replete with stunning natural scenery and diverse terrain, this route is a cyclist's dream. Don't forget your camera, because the memories you'll make will be cherished long after you’ve given those pedals a rest!
