En bici de Vatra a Chișinău

Hop on your bike for a pleasant 17 km spin from Vatra to the vibrant heart of Chișinău! This route will have you breezing mostly along quiet roads and tracks that cut through the gentle hills on the western side of the capital. You’ll enjoy about 100 meters of gentle ascent, but you’ll actually lose a bit more elevation than you gain, making the ride overall just a bit easier than it looks.

With much of the way off the main roads, you’ll pass through peaceful countryside before gradually entering the lively outskirts of Moldova’s largest city. Surfaces are a mixture—expect some paved sections and asphalt, but keep an eye out for tracks and rougher paths along the way. It’s a relaxed ride with only a brief stint on busy roads near the city.

Vatra is a small, quiet town surrounded by fields and forests—perfect for a tranquil start. As you reach Chișinău, you’ll be greeted by the city’s leafy avenues, parks, and cafes. It's a great short adventure for anyone looking to get a fresh perspective on the approach to Moldova's buzzing capital. Grab your helmet and enjoy the ride!
