The trips are made for a sportive public that enjoys mountain biking in a wild and authentic environment. We prepared 2 round trips along the most fascinating places of the northwestern part of the Apuseni Mountains. Hundreds of kilometers of forestry roads are waiting for you. You’ll visit splendid nature reserves and authentic villages. The trails go through the dense forest, along beautiful rivers and over green meadows in a splendid nature. 
The trip offers also diversity. You are in a karstic zone and you’ll visit many canyons, caves and dolina’s. You’ll sleep in guest rooms at local farms. 

Mornings you’ll have a continental breakfast and food will be provided to prepare your lunch packet. In the evening you'll enjoy a typical warm meal. Your luggage will be transported from location to location. 

Your bike should be a hybrid or mountain bike. We recommend minimum 18 speed gears and heavy tires. The finest places are mostly away from major roads and although all forestry roads are upgraded once a year, heavy thunderstorms cause every year road damage in mountain regions.
