Discover the Highlights of Romania

1. The Danube River Delta and the Black Sea

The Danube Delta, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is Europe’s second-largest delta and one of the most biodiverse regions on the continent, home to over 300 bird species and the largest colony of Dalmatian pelicans

The nearby Black Sea coast features historic port cities like Constanța, which can be discovered on our Danube Delta and Black Sea Cycling Tour.

2. Carpathian Mountains

The Carpathian Mountains, stretching across Romania, Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine, are one of Europe’s last great wilderness areas. In Romania, they cover over 50% of the country, featuring dense forests, deep gorges, and alpine meadows, all gathered in the Carpathian Mountains Cycling Tour

The region is home to Europe’s largest brown bear population, medieval castles, and scenic hiking and cycling routes. The Transfăgărășan and Transalpina roads, two of the world’s most spectacular drives, cross these rugged peaks.

3. Saxon Heritage

Saxon heritage in Transylvania dates back to the 12th century when German settlers, Saxons, were invited to fortify the region. They built UNESCO-listed fortified churches, medieval towns like Sibiu, Brașov, and Sighișoara, and well-preserved villages such as Viscri and Biertan

4. Transylvania

Transylvania, a land of medieval castles, Saxon villages, and dramatic Carpathian landscapes, is one of Romania’s most fascinating regions. It is home to UNESCO-listed fortified churches, Bran Castle, and the well-preserved medieval citadel of Sighișoara, which you can explore on the Via Transilvanica Bike Tour

5. Bran Castle

Bran Castle, often linked to the Dracula legend, is one of Romania’s most famous landmarks. It served as a strategic fortress guarding the mountain pass between Transylvania and Wallachia. 

While there is no historical evidence connecting it to Vlad the Impaler, its dramatic hilltop location, medieval architecture, and eerie atmosphere have made it a symbol of the Dracula myth.

6. Count Dracula

Count Dracula, the iconic vampire from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, is inspired by Vlad the Impaler, a 15th-century Wallachian ruler known for his brutal tactics. 

Even though Stoker never visited Romania, he based Dracula’s character on gothic folklore and vampire myths, associating it with Bran Castle

Romania – One Country Of Many Lands

Romania has a remarkable geographic diversity. Over half of the country’s landscape is covered by the Carpathian Mountains, shifting from dense forests and alpine meadows to the rolling hills and fortified villages of the Transylvanian Plateau


South and east of the Carpathians, the Moldavian plateau and the Romanian plain extend, forming the largest lowland area in the country, known for its fertile farmland and vineyards. These two regions form a transition zone between the Carpathians and the Danube floodplain.


The Danube Delta, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is one of Europe’s most biodiverse wetlands and part of the Black Sea Coast, stretching along 245 kilometers. The coastal region offers sandy beaches, ancient Greek and Roman ruins, and Romania’s largest port, Constanța


The diverse landscape, from mountain peaks to coastal shores, makes Romania a destination rich in nature, history, and cultural heritage.

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was certainly challenging cycling for seniors but most of us did it all seven days. Scenery and culture of the islands was glorious. Guide and crew was superb!

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.

We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!

We had a wonderful tour of Greece on bikes. All of the hotels and towns were unique and wonderful, the rides were a reasonable length for my wife and we had a great time on our own without guides. Thank you very much and I would do the exact trip again.
