Distance and duration are calculated by OSRM using its car profile and OpenStreetMap data, without stops or live traffic. This is a planning GPX, not a recorded ride. Stop detours and the connection to Cabana 84 are excluded.

Maramureș appears in German and Polish touring itineraries. This guide is our own connecting variation via Șetref and Beclean; sources do not prove that most foreign riders take this exact route. Salva municipality confirms the DN17C connection through Șetref.

Fuel. A break. Lunch.

Documented stops, not tested by Cabana 84. Check opening hours and access; detours are excluded from the distance.

Fuel stops

In Bistrița, OMV’s official list gives Str. Libertății 54 and Calea Moldovei f.n. Rompetrol lists a Dej–Bistriței station. Check the station suitable for your route and opening hours in the operator’s locator; do not assume fuel at every mountain waypoint.

A place for lunch · Popasul Drumețului — Beclean

Popasul Drumețului advertises a restaurant on DN17 near Beclean (km 28+280). A possible meal or coffee stop when passing through. Confirm opening hours and motorcycle access directly with the operator.

Sections to prepare for

Prepare for the Șetref crossing between Săcel and Romuli, the Salva junction and village crossings. We have no recent surface report for this route; check roadworks and access in your navigator.

ANM ↗

Parking and viewpoints

Map points are route references, not viewpoints or parking with verified access. Confirm parking at your chosen stop and avoid stopping on the carriageway for photographs.

Alternative route

At Salva, continue towards Năsăud and Bistrița instead of Beclean–Cluj. This leads to a different destination and needs a new distance calculation; it is not advertised as passing the cabin or avoiding a closure.

Cabana 84 exterior and courtyard entrance

Cabana 84, along your journey.

From Salva we choose the Beclean branch, then Dej and Cluj. The direct Salva–Năsăud–Bistrița option can bypass Beclean. The cabin in Băile Figa needs a separate detour from the town reference.

The cabin is in Băile Figa, Aleea 2, Beclean. Use the property pin for the detour from the route. The host confirms private parking; motorcycle capacity, security and covered spaces need a phone discussion. Confirm stay dates directly, including dates outside summer.

Sources and verification.

Online research: . We have no confirmed date when these routes were last ridden or checked by motorcycle, and no own route photographs.

How are distance and time calculated?

Metres and seconds from the saved OSRM response. Car profile, no live traffic. The response does not identify the map data age or validate surface conditions or motorcycle access.
