Colinele Transilvaniei: Rucăr - Gherdeal
A cycling route starting in Viștea de Jos, Brașov County, Romania.
Overview
About this route
The route starts from the village of Rucăr, from the asphalt road DJ 102A, following the paved road that leaves the village to the northwest. At the exit of the village, the road turns into a dirt one that climbs steeply, a little to the right, to the main peak. It intersects the main route, marked with a red stripe, which connects Cincșor and Șomartin and has a section of approx. 500 m shared with this marking. The route leaves the main path to the left, climbing on the road that leads to the top of the hill, where there is a cross and from where you can admire the Făgăraș mountains to the south. The route continues uphill, entering the forest next to an animal watering area and continues on the road that passes from time to time through the meadows until it reaches the highest point of the route. From here, there is a steady descent on a dirt road to the village of Gherdeal. Did you travel this route?
