Excursión ciclista de un día de Şuncuiuş a Oradea

Get ready for an adventure! This route starts in Şuncuiuş, a charming village nestled near the Apuseni Mountains, well-loved for its limestone caves and lush landscapes. You’ll pedal out on mostly unpaved and gravel surfaces (so a sturdy bike is a must) as you roll through rolling hills and rural Romanian countryside.

You’ll clock in a little under 88 km, with a good amount of ascent (about 829 m!)—but don’t worry, there’s even more descent, letting you enjoy plenty of swooping downhills as you get closer to Oradea. Expect quiet tracks and some forest and farmland views.

Once you reach Oradea, you’ll find yourself in one of Romania’s most elegant cities, famous for its Art Nouveau architecture and vibrant riverside promenade. Pro tip: reward yourself with a coffee in the old city center or a stroll along the Crișul Repede River!

This ride is a perfect blend of nature, tranquility, and a little historical flair at the finish line. Plan for a long day in the saddle—don’t forget your snacks, water, and maybe a camera for those countryside views!
