5-day Base Lodge Motorcycle Tour in Romania

Romania is a country with a fascinating history, rich culture and stunning scenery. Romanian culture is characterized by a fascinating mix of Eastern and Western influences. Rich folklore and traditional music are an important part of Romanian identity. Romanian history goes back centuries and is shaped by different peoples and cultures. The country was part of the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy. This diverse history is reflected in the architecture, particularly in the medieval castles and churches dotted across the country. In addition to high mountains, Romania also has picturesque valleys, rivers and lakes.

One of the most remarkable landscapes in Romania is the Carpathians. This mighty mountain range covers much of the country and offers spectacular views, pristine forests and diverse wildlife. On our five day tours, which all start from our APUSENI LODGE, we roam the Western Romanian Carpathians, visit ancient caves and buildings steeped in history and enjoy wonderful natural spectacles and magnificent views.

We not only ride a tour with you, we also give you insights into the real Romania. We accompany you through a country in which the largest intact natural and primeval forest areas in the EU outside of Scandinavia and the largest contiguous, largely untouched, mixed beech forests are located and where hospitality, traditions, festivals and folklore play an important role.

Your base lodge is the APUSENI LODGE Romania®. You live in a comfortable holiday home. Our holiday homes have two bedrooms, one with two separate single beds and the second with a large double bed. The bedroom with a large double bed is occupied by one person only, unless something else is expressly requested (pair occupancy is of course possible). Furthermore, the holiday homes have a living room with a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a separate bathroom with a shower and a large covered terrace.

You will receive detailed information about motorcycling in Romania with the booking confirmation.

Daily schedule:

The daily tours start between 09:00 and 09:30 each day. Return to the base lodge is always 17:00 - 18:00.

Tour 1: Monday - Curvy canyon tour approx. 238 km

Like every day, we start from the APUSENI LODGE Romania® and ride through the Apuseni Mountains on winding roads. We'll show you one of our favorite secret canyons and stop at one of the old wooden churches typical of Romania. On no less winding roads we return to the base.

Tour 2: Tuesday - Fascinating cave tour approx. 179 km

Again from your base lodge, it's a beautiful and little-used road to Peștera Urșilor, a masterpiece of nature and unique in Romania and Europe. We take our time and let this natural phenomenon affect us. On the way back we visit our weekly market in Ștei and you have the opportunity to stock up on all kinds of delicacies.

Tour 3: Wednesday - Medieval fortress tour approx. 230 km

Today the historic Hunedoara Fortress is on our program. It is one of the most attractive fortresses in Europe. The structure has a special charm due to the variety of architectural styles, the presence of military and civilian innovations, and the turbulent court life that enlivened it for over 400 years. Especially for people who are attracted to the Middle Ages, the castle is a unique place in Romania.

Tour 4: Thursday - Picturesque waterfall tour about 320 km

Romania is also a country of lakes and magnificent plateaus. Following our motto, we ride on roads that others ignore, past the most beautiful lakes and over the most impressive high plateaus of the Apuseni Mountains. Our Apuseni Special is designed to take your breath away.

Tour 5: Friday - Cruisy farewell tour approx. 211 km

A relaxed tour along the Mureș gives you the opportunity to say goodbye to this part of Romania. We are convinced that after the impressions you have collected, you will want to see more of our fascinating country and come back and maybe get to know other parts of the country on one of our round trips. If the weather is good, we will say goodbye to the Munții Apuseni in the evening with a Cajun prepared on the campfire.
