Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Predeal do Zărnești

Get ready for an epic ride from Predeal to Zărnești, a route that truly captures the wild heart of the Carpathians! Predeal, Romania’s highest mountain town, is famous among skiers, but in warmer months it’s a great launchpad for cyclists. As you leave Predeal, you’ll tackle a hearty ascent before gliding down almost 1150 meters—hello, speedy descents and sweeping views.

You’ll cover around 38 km, mixing paved roads (about 40%—keep your tires happy!) with bumpy gravel and earthy tracks. The journey mostly sticks to quiet roads and scenic tracks, weaving through deep forest and open meadows, with occasional glimpses of the imposing Bucegi Mountains. Some sections are pretty rustic, so be ready for a dash of adventure.

You’ll finish up in Zărnești, your gateway to the rugged Piatra Craiului National Park—a paradise for hikers, wildlife lovers, and anyone who loves wild, unspoiled nature. Grab a snack in town before checking out the park’s dramatic limestone ridges. This ride isn’t just about the distance—it’s about immersing yourself in some of Romania’s most spectacular mountain landscapes!
