Transylvanie à vélo

Our cycling route begins with a ride through Cisnădie/Heltau to Cisnădioara/Michelsberg, where we will visit the fortified church. These two villages are known for their abundant orchards. Afterward, we continue cycling through Rășinari to Poplaca and Gura Răului, a few typical Romanian shepherd villages at the foot of the Cindrel Mountains. In the late afternoon, we cycle back to Rășinari.

Today the road will lead us to several fortified churches. The first stop is Hosman, followed by Alzen. Along the way, you will often see horse-drawn carts with peasants heading to the fields, as agriculture is the main occupation in this region. The cycling route continues through Barghis and Pelisor to Biertan. One of the most important fortified churches in the region is located in Biertan, which was the bishop's seat for over 300 years. Additionally, this is the place where the annual Saxon meeting takes place. Upon arrival in Biertan, we check into our rooms for the next two nights and enjoy dinner.

After breakfast, we transfer to Sighisoara. Following a city tour with a local guide, we get back on our bikes. We will ride the famous hiking route and MTB route Via Transilvanica to Viscri. Viscri became widely known through the Prince Charles Foundation. A visit to the fortified church is worth it, even though the church is relatively small.
