Winding Canyon Stage
From the APUSENI LODGE Varfurile you ride through tight curves into the Apuseni Mountains, past a secluded canyon and a traditional wooden church, before returning on equally winding roads to the lodge.
To the Pestera Ursilor
Along quiet secondary roads you reach the Pestera Ursilor bear cave, an extraordinary natural phenomenon. On the way back you stop at the weekly market in Stei to pick up regional specialities and produce.
Hunedoara Fortress Visit
Hunedoara Fortress ranks among the most impressive castle complexes in Europe. Shaped over four centuries by changing architectural styles, it reflects stories from the Middle Ages at the edge of the Carpathians.
Lakes and High Plateaus
One stage covers 320 kilometres past lakes and high plateaus of the Western Carpathians, on roads that most riders overlook. The views across the Apuseni Mountains are among the standout moments of the week.
Finale in the Mures Valley
Along the Mures river the week winds to a relaxed close. If the weather cooperates, an evening campfire with Cajun grill awaits – a fitting end to the stages through the Apuseni Mountains and back.
