Biking in Tusnad Area

Traveling from Brasov to Miercurea Ciuc, along the Olt River, you will enter the “mineral water land”, a place where you find “probably the best water in the world”! Between two mountain massifs with old woods – Baraolt and Ciuc – you pass places naming mineral water well known brands: Zizin, Bodoc, Tusnad, Sancraieni, Ozun, Malnas, Covasna, Harghita.

Here, the Olt Valley is narrow, the mountains are approaching, villages replace cities, woods are coming closer to the road. Finally, Baraolt and Ciuc Mountains meet in a single point: Baile Tusnad resort, our meeting location.

A volcanic lake (unique in Romania), sulfa caves, natural springs and cascades, old fortresses, kurtoskalad, forest roads, goulash, forest path: all of these are the ingredients of this lush area. We know the routes to each of them and we crafted for you a two days cycling itinerary to help you discover them.
