Sortie rapide à vélo de Cluj-Napoca à Baciu

Set off from Cluj-Napoca, the lively heart of Transylvania, and enjoy a pleasant 13.4 km ride out to Baciu. The route starts in the urban bustle of Cluj, famous for its rich cultural scene and beautiful architecture, but quickly slips into quieter suburbs and countryside.

Most of your ride follows quiet roads or dedicated cycleways, making it a relaxing choice for those looking to escape city traffic—though a short stretch might involve busier roads, so stay alert. The path is mostly paved or asphalt, though you'll roll over a few unpaved sections (nothing too wild, just a bit of an adventure). Expect some gentle ascents, gaining just over 130 meters, with a few descents to keep things balanced.

Baciu itself is a small commune just northwest of Cluj, known historically for its old churches and proximity to Hoia Forest—rumored to be one of the most mysterious woodlands in Romania. Whether you’re in it for the scenery or just a fresh escape from city life, this ride has just enough countryside charm and challenge to make it a rewarding day out!
