Bicycle Tours in Romania: Pedaling the Heart of Transylvania

Tour Details | Itinerary | Map | Custom Tours

Discover Transylvania on this ride through a land reminiscent of times past. Although Romania is scheduled to join the European Union in 2007, the rural countryside we explore is still years behind the rest of Europe. As Romania's younger generation works on modernizing their country, we still have the chance to pedal through traditional farmlands maintained using traditional tools and horse drawn carts. There is much more to Romania than peaceful bucolic scenes; we'll also explore the Medieval fortress town of Sighisoara, the reputed birthplace of Count Dracula; the Palace of Culture, which celebrates the cultural diversity of Targu Mures; and Sibiu, selected by the European Union as one of two "European Capitals of Culture 2007". Join us and experience the complex contrasts of this fascinating country.
