Gita in bici di un giorno da Târgovişte a Câmpina

Ready for an adventure between two remarkable Romanian towns? Set off from Târgovişte, the historic seat of Wallachian princes (and once home to Vlad the Impaler), and pedal north toward Câmpina, a charming gateway to the Prahova Valley.

Your journey covers just over 50 km and promises both scenic variety and a satisfying workout, with some solid climbs and descents along the way (expect over 1,100 m of total ascent!). The route combines plenty of paved roads with stretches of gravel and track, weaving through rolling countryside and small villages—so a gravel or robust touring bike is a smart choice.

You’ll spend most of your ride on quieter roads and countryside tracks, with the occasional busy stretch—just enough to remind you you’re on the move. As you roll into Câmpina, take a breath: this town was once known for its oil fields, and today it’s an inviting spot with parks, a famous art museum, and easygoing cafes.

Perfect for cyclists who love a mix of history, views, and rustic Romanian landscapes!
