Transylvania by Bike

We invite you to explore historical Transylvania by Bike, a magical place where you can relive habits from long established cultures that you have only read about, hear the music of life and taste its grandoars, give joy to all of your senses and let them lead you towards new discoveries…

Slowly passing through the heart of Transylvania your spirit will be enriched with all the natural wonders that guard this magical place:

– Feel the wind touching while passing through 500 years old oak forests

– Spot the wild life around you: deers, eagles, wild rabbits

– Hear the birds chirping

– Enjoy herds of sheeps and watch the shepherds guarding them in contempt

– Embalm your senses with the aromas of fresh cut grass, still being mowed the old fashion way

– Explore Church Fortresses builded since 1200 – Acknowledge how life goes by in villages untouched by time & meet local craftsmen

– Feel the energy of people that are keeping their traditions in working the field, helped by horses plowing the land, and the people spreading the seeds with bare hands, harvesting the golden fields of wheat and almost taste the sweetness of the grapes in their hands

– Taste fresh ripe organic tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables that are cultivated by locals

– Drink organic fresh milk

……and many others!
