WHAT IS THE PROPOSAL AND FOR WHOM?
It's not an expedition, but rather a relatively easy trip, although it's guided by trails that Google Maps doesn't usually guide. The program includes quite a few local roads of varying surface and quality, both in lowland and mountainous terrain, roads marked with a white line on maps and sometimes so thin as to be almost non-existent. Although they are mediocre roads and even roadless in sections, they lead through inhabited areas and not deserted refuges, making the trip touristy and safe.
A proposition for any owner of a motorcycle in the Allroad class (a so-called motorcycle SUV), capable of traversing roads with any type of surface. Basic level off-road riding experience (familiarity with riding off-tarmac on roads with unbound pavement) will be very necessary, although not essential - the program provides for the possibility that participants may bypass more difficult road sections, or change the program in case of very adverse weather and road conditions.
Our goal is mainly natural treasures, just a little bit of history and architecture in 2 of Romania's most attractive tourist lands: 1) Marmarosh (Maramureş) - a true refuge of folklore, whose landscape is made up of gentle mountain ridges and traditional wooden houses, gates and churches with soaring towers, whose uniqueness has been recognized by its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, 2) Transylvania (Transylvania) - historical land, tucked into the Carpathian fold, surrounded by an aura of mystery, with numerous well-preserved monuments, with tangible evidence of the intermingling of many cultures, religions and nationalities, as well as magnificent nature. On the list of must see - Sighișoara (Segișoara), Viscrii, the Transfogaras Road, Transalpina and Apuseni.
The event is a tourist trip, so by definition it is geared towards exploring regions, places and local culture - an enjoyable and relaxing trip. There are no elements of stunt in the event, including rivalry and competition. Participants form a group, ride in a group, return in a group.
