Motorcycle Tours Romania – Carpathians and the Transfăgărășan

<p>Motorcycle tours in Romania take you through the Carpathians – from the gentle hills of Transylvania, over the Transfăgărășan pass road, to the enduro tracks of the Western Carpathians around the Apuseni Mountains. The Transfăgărășan is considered one of Europe's most spectacular pass roads, but is snow-free for only a few months a year. With OVERCROSS you ride these regions guided or self-guided – with experienced tour leaders, planned stages and accommodation along the route.</p>
