Danube Delta
The motorcycle tour starts in Sibiu, in the heart of Transylvania, and first leads to Bran, known for its legendary castle, which is closely linked to the Dracula legend. The route continues along winding roads to Întorsura Buzăului, a scenic valley in the Carpathian Mountains, and then to Buzău, a charming town on the edge of the mountains. From there, the route leads into the Danube Delta to Dunavățul de Jos, where the Danube flows into the Black Sea - a natural paradise with unique flora and fauna. On the way back, the route continues via Buzău into the Carpathians to Sinaia, the "Pearl of the Carpathians", with the famous Peleș Castle. Finally, the circle closes back in Sibiu. A varied tour through medieval towns, legendary castles, winding Carpathian roads and the fascinating Danube Delta.
The motorcycle tour begins in Sibiu, one of the most beautiful cities in Transylvania, whose medieval old town with towers, squares and colorful facades is a perfect starting point. From here, the route leads through the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains to Bran, where the famous Dracula Castle sits enthroned - a symbol of Romania and a must-see for every visitor. The route continues on winding roads over passes and valleys to Întorsura Buzăului, a picturesque small town nestled between the Carpathian mountain ranges. The route there offers pure motorcycling fun with lots of bends and changing landscapes. You then reach Buzău, the gateway to Wallachia. Exciting natural phenomena await in the region, such as the Vulcanii Noroioși (mud volcanoes), which are perfect for a short detour. From here, the tour leads far east to Dunavățul de Jos, situated on the edge of the Danube Delta. The landscape changes dramatically here: instead of mountains and valleys, you can expect wide plains, rivers and canals, a natural paradise full of birds and pristine tranquillity - an impressive contrast to the mountainous regions. The return journey takes you back through Buzău and on to Sinaia, the "Pearl of the Carpathians". Here rises the fairytale Peleș Castle, former summer residence of the Romanian royal family, surrounded by dense forests and alpine scenery. The route there rewards you with magnificent panoramic views and more winding passages. Finally, the journey comes full circle back to Sibiu, where the journey ends full of contrasts between medieval towns, mysterious castles, spectacular mountain roads and the wild nature of the Danube Delta.

Start in Sibiu, into the southern Carpathians. After just a few kilometers, the route alternates between asphalt and wide forest roads. Plenty of elevation gain, magnificent views, dense forests. The destination is Bran - famous for the "Dracula Castle". Off-road riding fun through the mountain ranges guaranteed.
A real off-road highlight: narrow mountain roads, gravel tracks, sometimes steep climbs. Remote valleys, lonely mountain villages, wild countryside. Technically demanding, but full of variety.
The route continues through the foothills of the Carpathians. Forest paths, sometimes rocky trails, mud volcanoes and then the transition to more hilly regions. Buzău itself is a lively town - ideal for supplies, service and a break after two hard days.
Long stage: from the mountains to the lowlands. First gravel and hills, then endless dirt tracks and side roads through Wallachia. The destination, Dunavățul de Jos, lies directly in the Danube Delta - a contrast to the mountains. This is where the road ends, beyond which only a labyrinth of water begins.
Perfect for boat trips, bird watching, fishing or simply relaxing by the water. A welcome break after a demanding day.
Return through the plains - fast off-road speed possible. Dusty dirt tracks, long straights, small villages. Buzău is again a good place to stop.
Back into the mountains! The route picks up again - lots of elevation gain, forest paths and winding pass roads. Sinaia lies in the middle of the Bucegi Mountains and has a real highlight in the form of Peles Castle.
Finale: Cross the Carpathians once again, with plenty of opportunities for off-road loops. Depending on the route, you can take the Transfăgărășan or smaller forest roads back to Sibiu. A worthy end to a varied tour.
Have a safe journey home! We hope to see you again soon on one of our tours.
