Excursión ciclista de un día de Sinaia a Braşov

If you’re seeking an adventurous ride through the heart of Romania’s mountains, cycling from Sinaia to Brașov is a must! Starting in Sinaia—a charming mountain resort famous for its fairy-tale Peleș Castle—you’ll head north on a route that's about 74 km long, packed with punchy climbs and thrilling descents. The route’s no walk in the park: over 2,600 meters of climbing, peaking at about 1,750 meters elevation, so get ready for some serious uphill action.

About half your journey follows forest tracks, with plenty of gravel and rough terrain under your wheels—perfect for those loving a bit of off-road adventure. Asphalt is rare, so a sturdy gravel or mountain bike is highly recommended.

As you descend towards Brașov’s medieval spires, you’ll be treated to epic forest views and maybe even a bear sighting or two! Once in Brașov, take a stroll through the old city with its colorful squares and legendary Black Church. This route is all about breathtaking Carpathian landscapes and a sense of accomplishment at the finish line—just be sure to pack snacks, spare tubes, and your best sense of adventure!
