Your seven-day Carpathian motorcycle tour sets off from APUSENI LODGE Romania in Avram Iancu, with departure between 9 and 10 a.m. You ride your own motorcycle on well-paved, winding pass roads covering around 210 kilometers per stage, accompanied by an experienced guide who speaks German, English and Romanian.

Free luggage storage, breakfast and insolvency protection are included – all you need is riding experience and a good mood.

Highlights

Ride the Transalpina

The Transalpina motorcycle tour takes you over the country's highest paved pass, more than 2,100 meters up – a spectacular panoramic route through the Transylvanian Alps with tight hairpins, cool mountain air and sweeping views.

Strolling Through Sibiu

The Sibiu leg of this motorcycle tour brings you to the geographical center of Transylvania: stroll across Sibiu's (Hermannstadt) beautiful market square, browse small shops, and soak up the old town's cobbled lanes over a coffee.

Bears by the Roadside

On this Transfăgărășan and Transalpina motorcycle tour, you'll often spot wild Carpathian bears right at the roadside of the famous pass road – a rare encounter you can experience this close only on this route.

Wild Apuseni Mountains

From day one, riding the Carpathians shows its wild side: winding roads through the Apuseni Mountains, dense beech forests, and the chance to explore the Peștera Urșilor bear cave on your own.

Experience Sighișoara

The Sighișoara leg leads you through the medieval old town of Schäßburg with its historic center steeped in history – a charming stop on the way to the Transfăgărășan, with time for a break on the market square.
