Transylvanian Tracks & Tales

6 DAYS · 3 RIDING DAYS · 60% OFF-ROAD

You don’t need to be an off-road expert. You need the nerve to start.

Most people see Romania through a car window. You’re going to see it from the pegs — standing, throttle open, the Carpathians unfolding in gravel, forest, and mountain air. It begins with a full day of professional BMW off-road training, so by the time the real trails start, you’re not surviving them — you’re riding them. Then three days deep into Romania’s wild heart: rugged forest tracks, technical mountain passes, and ridgelines where the views run forever.

First-timer or veteran, you’ll be ready. Everything but the riding is handled — certified instructors, support crew, the lot. You just bring the will to learn, and we’ll show you the Romania that hides from everyone else.

Train first. Then ride the Carpathians.

    An Off-Road Motorcycle Tour Through Transylvania

    Transylvanian Tracks & Tales is a guided off-road motorcycle tour through the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. Starting and finishing in Bucharest, the six-day trip covers roughly 900 kilometers — about 60% of it on gravel, forest track, and mountain trail. It opens with a full day of professional off-road training, so riders of every level can build the skills and confidence to ride the wild terrain that follows.

    Start with a full day of BMW off-road training

    Before the adventure begins, you’ll spend a complete day at Enduro Park MTT Merei with certified BMW Motorrad off-road instructors. You’ll master the essentials — body position, braking on loose surfaces, climbs, descents, and control on varying terrain. It’s what makes this tour accessible to newer adventure riders and a genuine skills refresher for experienced ones, and it sets you up to tackle everything from forest trails to mountain passes.

    Three days deep into the Carpathian wilderness

    From Merei the route heads into the mountains — Întorsura Buzăului, Izvoare, and back toward Bucharest — through some of Romania’s most breathtaking and least-traveled regions. Each day brings new challenges: gravel switchbacks, forest tracks, and ridgelines with views across the Carpathians. Every night ends in a comfortable 3- or 4-star hotel, with all dinners included, so you ride hard and recover well.

    Who this tour is for

    Because it starts with a full training day, this tour welcomes all levels — from riders new to off-road who want to learn properly, to experienced adventurers looking for genuine Carpathian terrain. You’ll ride a BMW F900GS, R1300GS, or R1300GSA, all prepared and fully supported. What matters most is the willingness to learn and the right protective gear.

    Come prepared for the mountains

    The Carpathian climate demands respect. Mountain weather shifts fast — chilly mornings, afternoons that can climb above 30°C — so quality waterproofs and a smart layering system are essential. Safety is the priority: a certified full-face or motocross helmet, full body armor protecting back, shoulders, elbows and knees, good riding gloves, and durable adventure boots are all required. Bring those, and we handle the rest.

    Day by Day

    Day 1 — Bucharest arrival

    Welcome to Romania! We pick you up from the airport and bring you to the hotel. Bucharest is a city of vibrant culture, art galleries, museums and a busy night life. Known as “Little Paris” for its reputation for the high life, Romania’s largest city and capital offers historical charm, a wealth of museums and art galleries, exquisite Orthodox churches and unique architectural sites. Depending on your arrival time, you can visit the Palace of the Parliament (formerly the People’s Palace). Built to Nicolae Ceaușescu’s vision, it spreads across 3.76 million square feet and is considered the world’s second-largest building after the U.S. Pentagon. In the evening we meet for a welcome briefing at the hotel, followed by a special welcome dinner where we discuss the tour ahead.

    Day 2 — Full-day off-road training at Enduro Park MTT Merei

    Today we focus on preparing every participant for what the following days hold. At Enduro Park you’ll learn essential off-road skills like balance and control. In off-road riding the terrain is often unpredictable, and staying balanced on the motorcycle is essential — you’ll learn how to shift your weight, position yourself on the bike, and use your body to control the machine. You’ll also practice braking and acceleration techniques across different types of terrain.

    Day 3 — Enduro Park MTT Merei to Întorsura Buzăului

    After an intense day of training at Enduro Park MTT, we roll into Întorsura Buzăului with mud-splattered bikes and spirits high from conquering challenging trails. Our muscles ache, but the excitement of the day’s ride still pulses through our veins, making every demanding moment worth it.

    Day 4 — Întorsura Buzăului to Izvoare

    Wind your way through the wild heart of the Carpathian Mountains as you ride from Întorsura Buzăului to Izvoare. These technical off-road sections take you along rugged forest trails and mountain paths, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks.

    Day 5 — Izvoare to Bucharest

    Time to head home — but not before one last taste of adventure. We kick off the day with some proper off-road fun in the mountains near Izvoare, then gradually make our way down through beautiful hills and countryside. As the trails become gentler and the mountains fade into the distance, you’ll find yourself carrying unforgettable memories of your off-road expedition.

    Day 6 — Bucharest departure

    Fully loaded with unforgettable experiences and memories from Romania, it’s time to head for the airport. We’ll see each other again on our next tour!
