Biking and hiking on Transylvanian trails

trip report - 2016

After sampling the mountain biking tours experience with us in 2015, Eva and Christian were eager to taste the unique Transylvanian experience together with a bigger group of friends, offering them a combined trekking and mountain biking program: some people would go mountain biking, some would enjoy hiking, and everybody would regroup over the dinner table. Sharing loughs and stories from the day spent on the early summer flowery trails, eating great local food and recharging batteries for the following day of outdoor adventures.

Coming up with a program matching both nice biking trails and hiking routes, without spending too much time with bus transfers was not really easy, but building unique programs for specific groups and requests is something we do on a regular basis. And we are fortunate enough to have a great variety of gorgeous trails through incredible landscapes, across the Saxon Villages (near places like Biertan, Sighisoara or Viscri) or around the Simon, Magura, Pestera mountain villages in the famous Bran Country.

A big thank you to mountainguide.ro, our partner in organising mountain biking holidays since our first mountain biking tour in 2010!
