 At Transylvanian Adventures, it's no secret, we love mountain biking. You can't blame us for wanting to try more trails and new destinations. When we come across something so good, we just have to share it! With a selection of mountain bike trips so diverse you can be sure there's one you'll love too.
We are happy to answer your questions and help you select a mountain bike tour based on your experience and interests. Call us at 0040-740-432385 or send us an email.
We offer mountain biking tours on both climbing and descending mountain routes made on forest roads or alpine meddows.
This activity can be also practiced complementary with other activities, like trekking, cave exploration, etc.
Where it`s possible, the group of bikers is followed by a trailer in case one or more participants wish to end their journey by bike and continue it by car. Mountainbikes and helmets are provided.

| Paragliding tandem flights and training courses |
|
 Paragliding is a recreational and competitive flying sport. A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by its suspension lines and the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing.
We offer tandem flights from the ridge of Hasmas Mountains in Hasmas National Park, and from the local ridges and mountains (Ciuc and Postavaru area). There is no prior experience necessary for a tandem flight. Age is not a factor. We can get just about anyone up on a tandem flight. We also offer 1 or 2 Days Introductory Paragliding Lesson.

| Cave exploration |

The caves of Romania are nature’s special creations, which let themselves be admired by tourists and also researched by speleologists. Romania has a wide network of caves – about 11.000 – among which many are arranged to be visited, and others exclusively booked for the specialists.
 The most important, known and visited caves in Romania are: Peştera Muierilor (The Women’s Cave), Peştera Urşilor (The Bears’ Cave), Gheţarul Scărişoara (Scarisoara Glacier), Cormarnic Cave and Popovăţ Cave, spread in different regions of the country. Each of them is worthy of a visit, mainly due to their unique and exquisite underground scenery.
The longest cave in Romania is the Wind Cave (Pădurea Craiului Mountains): 50 km. The biggest negative drop is recorded in the Aven under Coltii Grindului (The Sand Bank’s Fangs) (Piatra Craiului Massif), 540 m, and the greatest positive edrop in Sura Mare Cave (Sureanu Mountains), 405 m.
In Romania there are a few dozen salt caves, the biggest being 3.234 meters long with a 42 m drop. It is crossed by two salty springs and offers, among other attractions of scientific interest, a special range of extremely colorful formations.
