Paseo rápido en bici de Floreşti a Ciurila

If you’re looking for an adventurous ride outside Cluj, this route from Floreşti to Ciurila has you covered! Starting in Floreşti, a lively suburb west of Cluj-Napoca, this nearly 20 km route heads south over rolling hills, with a satisfying 670-meter ascent (bring some snacks and take your time on the climbs!).

Most of the ride cruises along quiet roads and tracks, with mixed surfaces—expect a good shuffle of gravel, dirt, and some rewarding stretches of smooth asphalt. About 18% is unpaved, so slightly knobby tires and a sense of adventure are a plus.

You’ll pass through sweeping meadows, patches of forest, and get some stunning views from high points (max elevation just under 800 meters). At the finish, Ciurila is a sleepy village nestled in the hills, perfect for a breather and a bit of rural Transylvanian charm. Don’t forget to pack extra water, as services along the way are sparse, and prepare for some rewarding off-the-beaten-track cycling!
