About the expedition
We take it easy, explore, take in the sights and savour the riding. The Transfăgărășan climbs in hairpins up to Lake Bâlea, the Transalpina follows the mountain ridge at over 2100 m, and the Strategica is a gravel gem for those who fancy it.
Along the way, Transylvania: fortresses, Saxon villages and castles. It’s a great first motorcycle trip — you can come on your own motorcycle or ride one of ours.
Mostly tarmac and good gravel, 4–6 hours of riding a day. Suitable for beginners and intermediates.
