Description
Tour Characteristics:
The tour is suitable for all those riders who have already gained some experience on narrow, winding gravel roads and dirt tracks and who have good control of their touring enduro off the road. All sizes of touring enduros are welcome on this tour. The use of at least all-round tyres suitable for road and off-road use is a prerequisite; especially in wet conditions, clearly off-road tyres (TKC 80, K 60 Scout) are of enormous advantage. This trip is not suitable for road bikes and enduros with purely asphalt tyres! It would be possible to take a passenger on the motorbike, but this is not recommended.
Travelling is deadly...for prejudices!
Mark Twain's saying is particularly apt for Romania, a country with friendly people, huge potential, but far too little known and burdened with far too many prejudices.
It's an open secret: Romania is an ideal destination for all enduro enthusiasts.
About 40 % of Romania's roads are still unpaved. Almost behind every turnoff begins a new gravel road!
We invite you to travel with us through this country off the main roads. Gravel roads, forest paths and endless curves await you. Romania consists of plains, highlands and mountains in equal parts - this guarantees pure variety! Medieval fortified churches, picturesque villages from centuries past, breathtaking landscapes, hospitable people and delicious food. This and much more awaits you on this tour! Especially convenient: From Oradea, a service vehicle transports your luggage from hotel to hotel.
Tour dates:
. In Romania approx. 1,350 km, of which 52 % gravel and 48 % tarmac.

Day 1: Travelling to Romania
Travelling to Romania on your own. As an alternative to travelling on two wheels, you can also transport your motorbike to Romania by car and trailer. We spend the first and last night in the same hotel. Your car and trailer can wait for you in the secure car park. If you wish, you can relax in the hotel's own thermal baths. Overnight stay in the Oradea area.
Day 2: Oradea/Grosswardein - Cluj-Napoca area
285 km
In the morning, we head towards the Western Carpathians on unique roads embedded in the wonderful landscape of the Romanian plains, which already make the adventurous heart of every motorcyclist beat faster in the afternoon. The varied route leads uphill and downhill through scattered villages, along steeply sloping gorges, over dirt roads and past impressive caves. We spend the night in a rustic mountain hut (each room is equipped with WC and shower) with delicious typical specialities in the Cluj area.
50 % tarmac road - 50 % non-tarmac road
Day 3: Cluj-Napoca - Sighisoara/Schässburg
180 km
The Transylvanian Heath actually consists of numerous hills, most of which are crossed on gravel roads. Originally, these hills were all forested, but today they serve as pasture land for sheep herders and, of course, as an enduro paradise for all those who love freedom on two wheels. In the afternoon we reach Sighisoara, in the evening there is still time for a leisurely walk through one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Overnight in a well-chosen hotel with its own spa area.
45 % tarmac road - 55 % non-tarmac road
Day 4: Sighisoara/Schässburg - Viscri - Crit
125 km
Across the "Kockel Hügelland" (Kockel Hill Country) we sweep through the forests and former vineyards south of Sighisoara. Later we follow the river Olt (Alt), which used to be the border between the Transylvanian Saxons and the Szekler. Through many picturesque small villages we reach the village of Viscri, which with its impressive church hill is one of the most beautiful villages in the country. It is not far to the small village of Crit, where we will spend the night. Here we will also enjoy our dinner with local Romanian specialities.
55 % tarmac road - 45 % non-tarmac road
Day 5: Crit - Sibiu/Hermannstadt
255 km
We continue along the Oltes towards the Southern Carpathians into the realm of the Fagaras Mountains. Over the next few days, we will experience this massive stretch of land from all sides. The Transfagarasan high road will be one of the highlights, in both senses of the word, with a length of about 150 km and about 2,000 metres. The incredible curves easily compensate for the lack of gravel on this stage. After the Transfagarasan has been mastered, we continue along the Oltes River at the foot of the Southern Carpathians to Sibiu/Hermannstadt, venue of the Red Bull Romaniacs Enduro Race and European Capital of Culture in 2007. We have dinner in a local speciality restaurant. Overnight stay in Sibiu/Hermannstadt.
60 % tarmac road - 40 % non-tarmac road
Day 6: Sibiu - Voineasa
90 km
We make our way south through the Cindrel Mountains and seemingly endless forests. The fun is pre-programmed. At the idyllic lake Jidoaia we settle down for a leisurely break before reaching Voineasa in the Lotrului valley in the afternoon.
30 % tarred road - 70 % non-tarred road
Day 7: Voineasa - Sebes
165 km
On the Strategica, a military gravel road through the Carpathians, we reach the Transalpina, which was also originally built as a military road and, at over 2,100 metres above sea level, is the highest mountain road in Romania. We climb to the top of the Transalpina pass before heading north down the valley again. The rest of the route then takes us to Sebes, the next overnight stop on the trip.
30 % tarred road - 70 % non-tarred road
Day 8: Sebes - Oradea
260 km
We cross the Western Carpathians one last time until the hilly, winding road leads us back to Oradea, where we spend our last evening together, once again in a speciality restaurant.
70 % tarmac road - 30 % non-tarmac road
Day 9: Return journey
520 km
Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye to your new Romanian friends. With many wonderful memories in your luggage, you will set off for home - either by motorbike or again by car and trailer. Your guide will accompany you to the Romanian-Hungarian border. The rest of the way you will either travel on your own or with other participants in the group.
