HIGHLIGHTS

On this trail starting and ending in Constanta you will ride along the sandy beach of the Black Sea, endless trails along waterways and through huge fields and meadows and will climb up the oldest mountain range in Europe, the Macin Mountains. The amazing landscape of the second biggest river delta in Europe will fascinate you from the very first moment. A boat trip into the bird reservations is as fascinating as the riding in the huge reed belt at the Lake Razim and the visit of the Resort Gura Portitei on the Black Sea Coast.

WHY WE LIKE THIS TOUR

On this tour you will feel like 100 year back. Here live stopped and this special charme of the delta will make you feeling really relaxed. Stunning views over the Danube, the waterarms and the huge fields gives you a lot of motives for pictures and videos. The old town of Constanta is a perfect starting and ending point of this trail. 

 

THE RIDING

The riding on this tour is simply great. Back to the roots of Enduro. You ride on sandy pists, tracks and paths along the water arms of the delta, through reef belts, meadows and field, you cross the rocky hills on hiking paths and the highlight is the ride on the sandy beach of the Black Sea. Although the riding on this tour is by far not extreme Enduro your will love riding like in the beginning of Enduro.
