About This Route

Day 1– Arrival in Sibiu. Guided tour of the city in the afternoon. Dinner & accommodation in Sibiu.

Day2 (~35km cycling) – Cycling through Hartibaciu Plateau – the second largest Natura2000 area in Romania – home of a significant breeding population of Lesser Spotted Eagle, Red-backed Shrikes and Woodpecker species. The colorful flowering meadows are a great habitat for a great number of butterflies and other insects. Dinner & accommodation in Nucet.

Day3 (40~km cycling)- Cycling along the wetlands of the Olt River – a good place for observing waders, herons and storks. We might even get the chance to see the local fishermen catch a big catfish. Dinner & accommodation in Cartisoara.

Day4 (50~km cycling)- Combined cycling through rural landscapes and dense beech forests at the foothills of the Fagaras Mountains. Chances of spotting the Ural Owl, other birds of prey and maybe even some mammals. Dinner & accommodation in Dejani.

Day5 (~45km cycling)- We continue cycling at the base of the mountains and we’ll reach a wild valley where we’ll have a car transfer to a hide deep into the unspoiled forest where we’ll silently wait for the brown bears to make their appearance. Some other animals might also occur: deers, wild boars, foxes or even wolves. Dinner & accommodation in Sinca.

Day6 (~35km cycling)- Cycling towards Zarnesti we’ll have to face some steep climbs just to be rewarded with a smooth,long and effortless descend. Dinner & accommodation in Zarnesti.

Day7 (~4-5hrs hiking)- Hiking through Zarnesti Gorges where we might encounter Alpine Swifts and Wallcreepers and continuing through the coniferous forests to reach a belvedere spot in the Kingstone National park. Dinner & accommodation in Zarnesti.
