Braap-braap up and down the hill!
Places filled: 6/12
Motorized experiences await us: we head to Transylvania in Romania to enjoy the scenery there on motorbikes. This is the second time, because the first time was so exciting and there is so much to discover there. We will set up headquarters in the beautiful city of Sibiu, which has hundreds of kilometers of mountainous trails in its vicinity, where you can give the gas to your motorbikes. There is a lot to choose from, so this trip is suitable for both beginners and advanced riders, and everyone will be challenged. We will sit on enduro motorbikes prepared for the local conditions and just give a ride. An experienced local motorbike guide will share tips. 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 trip from Tallinn or Riga. 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.
