Braap-braap up and down the hill!
Places filled: 5/12
We're taking the experience to a new, motorized level and heading to Transylvania, Romania, to enjoy the scenery on motorbikes. We'll be based in the beautiful city of Sibiu, which has hundreds of kilometers of mountainous trails in its vicinity to give the motorbikes a whirl. There's plenty to choose from, so this trip is suitable for both beginners and advanced riders, and everyone will be challenged. We'll sit on enduro motorbikes prepared for the local conditions and just let it go. Everything is set up for us on site and we only have to worry about whether we can make it up the rocky climb! Braaaaap!

SIBIU
It is a city in Transylvania with a population comparable to Tallinn, located higher than Munamăgi and surrounded by beautiful mountains. This is precisely why it is one of the most sought-after enduro destinations in Romania and perhaps also due to its good price-quality ratio in all of Europe.
Accommodation
We will be staying in a hotel in double rooms throughout the trip. Our hotel is located close to the city center, which means we can enjoy local shops, bars, restaurants, and party venues within a 10-minute walk.
Catering
All breakfasts are at the hotel and are included in the price. Lunches and dinners are arranged on a regular basis from local catering establishments or we take them with us on the road and have a picnic. Lunches and dinners on site cost approx. 10-20 euros.
Evening activities
We can fill our evenings with various activities if we still have some energy left after a long day of driving. The old town of Sibiu is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and offers cool views reminiscent of Count Dracula.
Transport
We start the journey from Tartu to Riga Airport, where a comfortable 9- or 16-seater minibus will take us. We will arrive from Riga to Sibiu by flight. Flight tickets are not included in the package, but ask the tour operator about the options. Together we will find the best offer and suitable flights so that everyone is there on time.
For example, currently, airline tickets (8 kg + 23 kg) cost around €350.
A minibus will pick us up from the airport, which will take us from Sibiu Airport to the hotel and then back to the airport.
Travel schedule
10.04 - Departure from TARTUS!
At 2.00:7.25* in the morning/at night we leave Tartu and head to Riga airport in a shared minibus to head towards Sibiu. The flight from Riga departs at XNUMX:XNUMX and by the afternoon we are already kicking our feet up at the hotel.
*Referred flight times include Air Baltic flights.
11.04 - INTRODUCTION TO MOTA
Breakfast at the accommodation and we gather to get acquainted with the motorcycle, a quick briefing and start the first day of riding.
12.-15.04 - BRAAAAAP!
The following days the routine is pretty much the same. Breakfast and at 9.00:50 we gather to start the day. The previous evening or morning we decide which route we will take and the ride can begin. Depending on the terrain, the days are 150-6 km long and last 8-XNUMX hours. You never know what surprises may come your way!
16.04 - ARE YOU REALLY GOING HOME?
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. In the afternoon, we head to the airport to catch the 16.00:XNUMX PM* flight. We arrive in Latvia a quarter of an hour after ten, from there it's another couple of hours' drive and we're home, presumably arriving in Tartu around one in the morning.

Equipment
If you have all the necessary enduro equipment, you can take it with you on the plane. If you don't have your own equipment, you can rent it on site (approx. 80 euros for five days). Enduro equipment includes a helmet, goggles, protectors, gloves, pants, boots, shirt and rain suit. We can get the motorcycles on site and you don't have to worry about that.
In terms of your equipment, it is also wise to bring a small backpack that can hold a water bag with a hydration system and lunch.
