Sortie rapide à vélo de Măneciu-Ungureni à Slon

This ride starts in Măneciu-Ungureni, a peaceful mountain village nestled by Lake Măneciu and known for its fresh air and lush landscapes. You’ll be cycling north-east toward Slon, a small, traditional village perched at the foot of the Ciucaș Mountains.

The 19.5 km route is quite varied: expect to climb and descend a total of about 600 meters each way as you wind through hilly terrain—great for anyone looking for scenic views and a bit of a challenge. Most of your journey takes place on quiet country roads and tracks (with hardly any busy roads to worry about), but keep in mind that about 60% of the surfaces are either gravel, dirt, or otherwise unpaved—so a gravel or mountain bike will feel at home here.

The area is famous for its natural beauty and rural charm; take your time, soak up the tranquil vibe, and enjoy some classic Romanian countryside along the way. Once you reach Slon, you might spot the picturesque rolling meadows and forests that make this region a hidden gem for cyclists.
