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.

The Cluj–DN17–Tihuța–Vatra Dornei corridor appears in a German motorcycle travel report. Our guide extends it to Câmpulung Moldovenesc and fixes Beclean as a reference. The historical report does not prove current road conditions or usage frequency.

Fuel. A break. Lunch.

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

Fuel stops

INFOTRAFIC ↗

Sections to prepare for

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

Finish at Vatra Dornei and omit the final stage to Câmpulung. For a Colibița detour, use the separate guide and recalculate the distance; it is not a diversion around a DN17 closure.

Cabana 84 exterior and courtyard entrance

Cabana 84, along your journey.

Beclean is an intermediate stop between Cluj and Bistrița. Cabana 84 is in Băile Figa: plan the detour from the town reference separately. Depending on travel direction, arrange a stay before or after the mountain stage.

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.
