Cheia: Hiking Trails, Cycling Routes and Romanian Cuisine

Cheia lies along a marked, easy hiking trail: From Moieciu de Sus, it leads to a viewpoint and the Transylvania Amphitheater, then descends to the village of Cheia and returns to Moieciu de Sus along the road.

Active pursuits

A dedicated mountain biking option is the moderately difficult Blue Flow Line MTB route. It is 2.93 km long and runs from Fundata Resort to Moieciu Resort.

Guided e-bike tours lasting 2 to 4 hours are offered at Cheile Grădiștei. The Cheile Grădiștei complex provides e-bikes for self-guided excursions without a guide. E-bikes are also available at Cheile Grădiștei for self-guided excursions without a guide.

Cycling route 03MB35 runs along a paved road through Cheia. It offers many viewpoints overlooking Piatra Craiului and Bucegi. On the approach via Cheia, 03MB35 passes through the Cheile Grădiștei gorge, cut into the rock.

The Transylvania Amphitheater can be reached from Cheia by mountain bike; on foot, it can be reached via the T9 ecotourism trail.

The trail options differ in terms of mode of transport, surface, markings, difficulty, route length and duration. For planning your own day, these parameters can be compared side by side and matched with your preferred type of activity. The names also indicate whether accompaniment is provided or the excursion is self-guided. The distance, difficulty and time frame are different key details for personal planning.

The active options can therefore be compared using different details side by side: a moderately difficult route with a stated distance, a paved cycling route through Cheia with named viewpoints, and guided and self-guided e-bike options lasting two to four hours. These differences concern the route, surface, accompaniment and duration and can be considered separately.
