Crossing Almăj mountains on MTB

Period: 3,4 October
Number of persons: 8
Degree of difficulty: medium, recommended only for cyclists used with MTB routes
Short Description: The origin of the Czech villages (the Czechs in the area are called pemi) is lost in history. They came here during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, starting in 1780, especially to work in the mines in the area. Their villages, 6 in number today St. Helena, Gîrnic, Ravensca, Bigăr, Eibental, Șumița are mainly located on the main ridges of the Almăjului mountains, some gentle mountains that hardly exceed altitudes of 600m. Although mining is no longer practiced in the area, thanks to a program run by the Czech Republic, locals have received funding for the development of small businesses, especially in the field of tourism. This is why today in the mentioned villages there are traditional accommodation units where we can spend the night but also taste of products specific to the area. The network of macadam roads combined with traditional tourism have transformed the Almăjului area into a perfect destination for MTB tours.
