À vélo de Buneşti à Viscri

Looking for a scenic ride straight out of a fairytale? The route from Buneşti to Viscri (about 14 km) is packed with hills, wildflower meadows, and that signature Transylvanian countryside charm. You’ll climb a bit (over 320 meters in ascent!), passing through lush forests and rolling fields, with more than a few panoramic moments. The path is mostly a mix of cycleways and farm tracks—expect Buneşti’s bumpy village roads to shift quickly into gravel and earthy tracks, so a sturdy bike is recommended.

Buneşti is a peaceful Saxon village, perfect for a slow start. As you head south, you’ll be aiming for Viscri—a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its gorgeous fortified church and luminous whitewashed houses. The last stretch is pure storybook Romania, and Viscri is a must-visit for cyclists and history buffs alike. Pack snacks and water, and don’t be surprised if you share the track with sheep or spot a painted stork en route.
