Dear hikers,
This summer we invite you to an MTB biking experience after a day of work, through the cool forests surrounding Sibiu, with the final destination being the woods near Cisnădioara.
Here’s what the tour will look like:
We’ll start from the Zoo parking lot (across from Hilton), following the route through Dumbrava Forest, and continue toward the shaded Catrina Forest (Cisnădioara). There, we’ll take a break to enjoy a snack and the peacefulness of the woods.
This is an easy-to-moderate tour, suitable even for those with little MTB experience, as the route does not include technical sections. All bikes should be serviced beforehand to ensure proper functioning. Everyone must carry a spare tube and a small puncture repair kit.
WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?
We meet at 17:30 in the Zoo parking lot. From there, we’ll head out on our bikes following the planned route.
