Gita in bici di un giorno da Câmpina a Braşov

Set off from the lively town of Câmpina, nestled at the foothills of the Carpathians and famous for its oil heritage and wildflower meadows. This adventure takes you north to the city of Brașov—a medieval gem ringed by mountains and gothic spires.

The route covers around 102 km and is ideal for those who love a challenge: you’ll climb plenty (over 3,600 meters of ascent!), often on rugged tracks and off-the-beaten-path gravel roads. Expect a healthy mix of surfaces, with more than half the way being forest tracks or paths. Make sure your bike can handle a bit of everything, from smooth asphalt to rocky ground, as only about a quarter of the way is paved.

The payoff? Sweeping climbs, epic descents, and stunning views as you wind through forests and high passes—eventually rolling into Brașov’s Old Town, with its vibrant squares, Black Church, and sunny café terraces. It’s a ride for hardy adventurers who don’t mind getting a bit dirty!
