The Western Hill
A cycling route starting in Urlaţi, Prahova, Romania.
Overview
About this route
Route to the top of the Valea Calugareasca hill, west of Urlati. It offers a splendid and scenic panorama over the valley and its original landscape on terraced hills, due to the former vineyards. The route crosses several small hamlet that seem straight out of a fairy tale!
This route is entirely signposted (black bike, number 7 and arrows on white square). The route can be very muddy after rain! Be careful with shepherd dogs: stop, get off of your bike and be sure the shepherd has seen you and will keep the dogs quiet.- -:--
