Why explore Romania by motorcycle?

In one week, the route takes you from the wooden churches of Maramureș and the Merry Cemetery of Săpânța to Bicaz Gorge, and from the medieval citadels of Transylvania to the Transfăgărășan, which climbs to Bâlea Lac at 2,042 m, and the Transalpina.

It is a loop from Cluj-Napoca, and every gravel section has a paved alternative. You choose how much adventure to add.
