Bucharest – Pre-tour Day

For a relaxed start and seamless logistics, we recommend arriving in Bucharest on Saturday, one day before the tour begins. All tours run from Sunday to Saturday, allowing ample time to rest, organize your gear, and schedule a comfortable return flight home on Sunday. Our team will welcome you at the airport, arrange your transfer to the hotel, and deliver the motorcycles later that evening so everything is in place for departure.

Overnight: Bucharest

Bucharest → Brașov

Leave Bucharest heading north through rolling foothills and into the Carpathians via the DN1A / Cheia.
Traffic fades as the road tightens and elevation increases.

First 70 km feature 4 lane, large roads perfect for warming up and getting comfortable on the bike.
After Ploiești, enjoy a series of sweeping curves and forested climbs leading to Bran Castle and then Brașov.

Overnight: Brașov

Brașov → Sighișoara

Ride from Brașov toward Sighișoara on flowing Transylvanian backroads, passing rolling hills, forests, and traditional Saxon villages.

Along the way, a detour leads to Saint Anne Lake, the only volcanic lake in Romania, offering a quiet and scenic break before continuing toward the UNESCO-listed Sighișoara Citadel.

Overnight: Sighișoara

Sighișoara → Alba Iulia (Transapuseni)

A relaxed riding day across central Transylvania, combining open countryside with gentle mountain sections.
Optional detour to Turda Salt Mine adds a unique underground stop.

Arrive at Alba Iulia’s impressive Vauban-style fortress, ideal for an evening walk inside the citadel walls.

Overnight: Alba Iulia

Alba Iulia → Târgu Jiu

Ride south from Alba Iulia toward Târgu Jiu, transitioning from Transylvanian plateaus into the Southern Carpathians.

The route follows the rocky Jiu River valley, where narrow gorges and steep canyon walls create one of the day’s most dramatic riding sections, before reaching Târgu Jiu.

Overnight: Târgu Jiu

Târgu Jiu → Sibiu (Transalpina)

Ride one of Romania’s highest paved roads as you cross the Transalpina,
with wide-open alpine views and long, flowing sections.

Descend toward Sibiu, a vibrant medieval city known for its architecture, cafés and lively old town.

Overnight: Sibiu

Sibiu → Curtea de Argeș (Transfăgărășan)

A highlight day following the legendary Transfăgărășan,
with tight switchbacks, glacial lake on the top and dramatic ridgelines.

After crossing the Făgăraș Mountains, descend toward Curtea de Argeș through forested valleys.
Watch out for wildlife in this area – especially bears.

Overnight: Curtea de Argeș

Curtea de Argeș → Bucharest

Leaving Curtea de Argeș, the route winds through the Dâmbovicioara Rocky Gorge, where steep rock walls frame a memorable final mountain ride.

The landscape then opens as you pass through Târgoviște, once the seat of Wallachian rulers, before completing the journey back to Bucharest.

Tour ends: Bucharest
