Top 4 Mountain Bike Trails In Brasov, Romania

Open Nav

There are between 35 and 45 mountain bike trails around Brasov, and all of them are worth riding at least once.

We can split them into:

We can’t talk about all of them, but here are 4 of the most popular mountain bike trails in Brasov.

#1. Iepure - Easy MTB Trail

“Iepure”, or ‘rabbit’ is a great mountain bike trail for beginner riders who want to dive right into the sport. It starts from “Saua Tampei” and continues to Valea Cetatii. It has a few roots and rocks and various other features that make this trail a great start for anyone.

This trail is mainly used by hikers, so keep an eye open for pedestrians. The other eye needs to remain open, especially during summer when the foliage is thick and visibility around the corners is limited – you never know what’s coming!

This trail is rather short, but packed with fun sections that you can ride time and again. Think of it as a quick warm-up.

From this trail

Putreda is a classic. It’s an old, man-made, mixed blue-line mountain bike trail where you don’t have to worry too much about bends but about speed.

The first section of this trail gets you right into it. It starts with a steep downhill with roots, a small rock garden, and also some trenches. There are also two drops that are pretty fun, although not in their best shape lately.

The access to Putreda is fairly easy, but steep. It starts from “La Bancuta” and it leads right to the head trail.

It’s a very beautiful mountain bike trail in Brasov, and the sunset you’ll get to see from it is breathtaking. Just keep your breaks in check.

Trails close to this:

Triunghiul Galben, or “Yellow Triangle,” is a blue-line mountain bike trail with a few red-line features. I’m talking about a challenging rock garden and a few steep downhill areas on dirt that can get tricky as well.

This trail mixes climbing and downhill riding, it is 100% natural, and most importantly, not very popular among hikers. It is a must-ride if you’re in Brasov and want to do some mountain biking.

It starts with a rock garden, some roots, a lot of dirt, and it ends with a beautiful pine forest and a spectacular viewpoint in Poiana Brasov. If you want to, you can go on Coasta Prundului and head back to Brasov city center.

Trails close to this:

Poteca Sasului is probably one of the toughest rides in Brasov. It’s a steep black trail with a lot of bends, several man-made drops, very loose when it’s dry and fun when wet, and a lot of off-camber.

This trail will push your limits and come after you with everything it’s got, so admittedly, you’ll need some great skills to get on it and finish it just as well. Regardless of its length, Poteca Sasului is bound to make you sweat a bit – which is why its one of locals’ favorites!

That being said, this trail can get quite crowded with a lot of downhill riders in Poiana Brasov, so be aware!

How To Access These MTB Trails In Brasov

You can access pretty much all of the mountain bike trails here in Brasov on your bike, without needing a shuttle or anything else. Access to most trails starts from “Pietrele lui Solomon”.

But if you’re really not the type of rider who loves climbing, there are some solutions for you as well.

Are MTB and Hiking Trails Around Brasov Safe?

As safe as a trail in the forest can be, yes.

Of course, it’s always recommended you have with you a quality bear spray because a meeting with a bear and its cubs can happen at any time. It even happens in the city, so why wouldn’t it happen on the trails?

Keep your eyes open, hike or bike in groups, be loud (but not obnoxiously loud), and you’ll be safe.

From an “I fell off my mountain bike” stand-point, the search and rescue are well-accustomed to the trails (they even ride them themselves), well-equipped, and understanding to all situations. We hope you won’t ever need them, but if you do, you’re in great hands and we can vouch for them.

When’s The Best Time To Ride These MTB Trails In Brasov?

There’s no right or wrong answer here, but generally, we advise riders to avoid trails that are very popular among hikers. After 17:00, during the weekends, and during national holidays, you’ll have to be extra careful for hikers, so the amount of fun will start decreasing.

If you’re curious as to when are these trails in their best shape, users on TrailForks, FATMAP, and other similar apps will keep the situation on the trails updated.

One of the best parts about mountain bike trails here in Brasov is the soil, which is great even when it’s wet. It doesn’t get too muddy, so it won’t stick to your tires.

Sure, the roots and rocks might get slippery, but that’s a skill issue, and I’m sure you can handle it.
