Top Activities on the Ground in Sibiu

Taking off on an independent day’s mountain walking from Sibiu means organizing a hire car or local transport. This full-day private trip takes away the hassle: and adds a guide to take you along mountain and forest trails from the town of Paltinis in Transylvania’s South Carpathian Cindrel Mountains. Climb through deep woods to Oncesti Peak, enjoy a picnic, and visit the old village of Rasinari before returning to Sibiu.

Take on some of Transylvania’s most iconic climbs, starting with the legendary Transfăgărășan, described as "The Best Road in the World" by Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson. This famous alpine road winds through the Carpathian Mountains with dramatic switchbacks, sweeping valleys and unforgettable high-altitude views. A true bucket-list ride. Along the way, explore the medieval town of Sighișoara, birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, and visit Biertan, home to one of the region’s best-preserved fortified churches. Your adventure finishes on the Transalpina, the highest road in Romania. Climb its spectacular mountain passes, enjoy wide-open panoramas, and celebrate completing one of the most scenic cycling routes in the country.

Make the most of your time in Transylvania on a bike tour of the region’s cultural highlights. Zip between sites with ease, while still enjoying an intimate experience of landmarks including Cisnădioara’s fortified church, Emil Cioran Memorial House, and the pastoral villages Poplaca and Rășinari. Meet your guide at a central Sibiu location, and benefit from their insight as you explore the region together.
