You probably don’t want to waste your vacation in a hotel room thinking of things to do in Romania.
Museums and restaurants might entertain you somewhat, but they’ll barely give you a sense of what Romania is like. Besides, maybe the entire purpose of your holiday was to get away from overcrowded streets and try something new.
If you’re ready to give mountain biking in Romania a shot, the Carpathian Mountains are an excellent starting point.
Want to know why?
Best Place In Romania For Mountain Biking
By far, the best place to mountain bike in Romania is in and near Brasov.
Brasov is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, giving you complete accessibility to the best mountain biking head trails in Romania.
There’s a constant flow of hikers here, all coming to spend their holidays in resort villages like Sinaia, Busteni, Predeal, and, of course, the mistakenly known residence of Dracula himself, Bran (Vlad the Impaler never actually set foot in Bran Castle!)
Of course, due to the city’s popularity for mountain bikers and hiking opportunities, you’ll find plenty of trails and biking parks here.
If you want to enjoy the view, plenty of trails will highlight Romania’s beauty and picturesque scenery.
But if you’re looking for a challenge and to show your MTB skills to your friends, we’ve got a lot of steep downhill trails made exclusively for that.
