The circuit starts and returns in Hațeg and offers a good perspective on the natural and cultural riches of the area. It's an ideal route to pass through the places where fossils of dwarf dinosaurs were discovered - hence the name of the geopark - and to admire the crest of the Retezat Mountains.

Strenuous great route in the Vâlcan Mountains (SW Carpathians). From Uricani, you go through a long valley to the ridge of the Muntii Vâlcan. Following this ridge over the summit of Straja (1868 m) to the Transvâlcan road. Follow this down until you encounter the Pasul Vulcan-Gondola SVC'd MTB Flow trail. After the flow trail from the valley station of the gondola, take paved roads via Vulcan back to Uricani. With the "Biobike" there are very strenuous uphill sections (you will often have to push); with the e-bike almost everything is rideable!

Around Borsa in the Rodna Mountains
Toprecommended route Difficulty S1 moderate

This possibly best MTB route in the Rodna Mountains leads from Borsa up to the Prisloppass and then back through a fantastic landscape with top trails. The Saua Gargalau Pass (approx. 1900 m) next to the summit of Musceta (1899 m) must first be overcome, then it goes along flowing trails for kilometers to an alpine pasture at about 1500 m altitude. After that, besides a few tough short uphills, there are only gravel roads down to the valley. This route is also suitable for e-bikes (despite some strenuous pushing sections)!

La movilele sau piramidele de la Șona ajungi cu mountain bike-ul fie mai ușor, din Făgăraș, fie ceva mai greu, dar mai frumos, din Hălmeag. Acest traseu urmează varianta mai provocatoare, însă cu un început antrenant și promițător.

Traseul de mountain bike al visurilor tale

Ciclismul montan în Transilvania devine o activitate regulată pentru localnici, și una aproape obligatorie pentru turiști. De la ușor la greu, de la asfalt la teren accidentat, de traseu plan la traseu pe văi, trecând prin peisaje pitorești sau sălbatice - traseele de MTB încântă pe oricine. 

Dacă ai o bicicletă solidă, nu ezita să o iei cu tine în concediu. Uneori poți închiria o bicicletă fix la pesiunea la care te cazezi (chiar biciclete electrice uneori). Așadar, rezervă-ți măcar o zi din cele planificate în zonă ca să descoperi Transilvania și pe două roți!

Cu MTB-ul pe colinele Transilvaniei

Podișul Târnavelor și Podișul Hârtibaciului includ cea mai amplă rețea de trasee de mountain bike din Transilvania. Nu doar că sunt marcate, chiar dublu marcate, și leagă principalele orașe din această micro-regiune și satele de pe parcurs.

În plus, infrastructura locală susține cicloturismul în zonă. Poate tocmai de aceea Transilvania devine ușor destinația de concediu perfectă.

O contribuție importantă în acest sens a avut-o și dezvoltarea, promovarea și experiența Via Transilvania, segmentul Terra Saxonum ale cărei trasee urmează aceleași rute marcate și de alte ONG-uri.

from Iulian Gabor,   Asociația Tășuleasa Social

Segmentele Via Transilvanica pot fi parcurse ca traseu în etape, așa cum au fost gândite, sau ca circuite, cu revenire la locul de cazare. O astfel de tură nu durează mai mult de câteva ore, e perfectă pentru destindere după orele de lucru - mai ales dacă lucrezi remote, dar și pentru a mai varia programul concediuli în familie. Majoritatea traseelor pot fi parcurse de copii și chiar se încurajează acest lucru, căci cei mici au prilejul de a descoperi minunății naturale, și poate chiar de a da nas în nas cu o căprioară.

Cu mountain bike-ul pe la poalele Munților Parâng și Retezat

Drumurile naționale din jurul Petroșaniului, precum și căile de acces spre crestele montane devin locul de joacă al mountain biker-ilor de cum dă vremea bună! Deși unele porțiuni se adresează bicicliștilor cu experiență, nu ezita să te alături unei ture pline de adrenalină. Natura mereu surprinzătoare și crestele care-ți veghează calea formează un cadru inegalabil.

  • Straja Baloo Flow MTB Trail (Gondola serviced!)
  • Wolves MTB route - Straja resort (served by gondola)
  • Fox Trail Parang (MTB-chairlift)

Desigur, posibilitățile de trasee de mountian bike nu se opresc aici. Am vrut doar să facem o mică introducere...

În oricare colț al Transilvaniei te-ai uita, ai munți, iar la poalele lor, ai trasee de mountain bike. Poate nu marcate ca atare, dar cu siguranță incluse pe hărți oficiale de trasee montane, așa că te poți orienta cu ușurință. Acolo unde dai de un drum forestier suficient de lat pentru un 4x4, e loc și de un mountain bike!
