A cycling route starting in Rusca, CaraČ™-Severin County, Romania.

Overview

About this route

1

A superb tour, with dreamlike landscapes. You need a whole day at your disposal, physical condition, and the desire to push your bike. The route starts from the lakeshore and up to about 1200 m you have a drivable forest road with an average slope. Then the fun begins: about 2 km that can't be cycled (it's an abandoned former forest road ruined by water - part of it can be done with an e-bike) to the alpine area. From there to the elevation of 1750 (my, how cold the water is from that spring) we have a good road for ATVs, but not for bicycles. We pushed about 75% of this section (it could be around 2-3 km). The last km of ascent is cyclable and takes us to the place where the Valea Cernei Mountains meet Tarcu and Godeanu. I guarantee you'll forget all the effort and nerves built up until then. Then comes a descent along Lake Iezer, with spots where we have also walked before (well, the water had its fun and broke the road). In total, we accumulated about 6 km of pushbike and thousands of photos with beautiful landscapes.
