Southern Carpathians Motorcycle Tour from Vienna

This Romania motorcycle tour sets off from Vienna and carries you through eight stages deep into the Southern Carpathians. After crossing the Hungarian Puszta you reach Oradea, before the real Southern Carpathians motorcycle tour begins in the Western Carpathians. The route passes the Fortified Church Road, the cities of Brasov and Sibiu, and the legendary Transfagarasan and Transalpina mountain passes. A local, German-speaking tour guide accompanies the whole group from start to finish.

Highlights

Transfagarasan Highway

The Transfagarasan motorcycle road is one of Europe's most famous mountain passes. At around 2,000 metres, the route winds through the Carpathians with countless hairpin curves, sweeping views and a genuinely challenging ride.

Brasov and Sibiu in Style

Dracula's Bran Castle

Iron Gates on the Danube

Near Eselnita, this Danube Iron Gates motorcycle tour brings you close to the river's narrowest stretch by boat, passing steep cliffs between Romania and Serbia, before an evening of fresh fish specialities awaits.
