Bikepacking from Brasov to Buzău

Get ready for an epic ride from Brasov to Buzău! Starting in the heart of Transylvania, you’ll leave behind the charming medieval city of Brasov—famous for its gothic Black Church and mountain backdrop—and head southeast through some wild and varied Romanian landscapes.

Over roughly 232 kilometers, this route packs in plenty of climbing, topping out at an impressive 1878 meters. You’ll tackle a mix of terrains: nearly half is on unknown or mixed surfaces, so expect a blend of paved roads, gravel tracks, and dirt paths (definitely worth double-checking your tyres before heading out!). Quiet country lanes make for peaceful pedaling, though you’ll occasionally encounter busier sections and rugged tracks that keep things adventurous.

You’ll finish up in Buzău, a gateway to the scenic Carpathians with its rich history and relaxed vibe—a perfect place to recharge. This ride suits experienced cyclists ready for a true long-distance challenge with spectacular mountain views and a healthy dose of off-the-beaten-track exploring. Happy cycling!
