On the last part of my solo cycling touring trip I go from Budapest to Bran, through Hungary and Romania. Leaving the safety and luxury of the eurovelo 6, everything becomes a lot wilder very quickly. Still on route to the start of the Transylvania 100K ultramarathon. This was where the real adventure started. Here’s Virgin to Vampire part 3.

How heavy are all your bags? It seems like big bags, but not sure how much is in them.
I could really watch it all day long Jan 😅 I have really nothing much to say than just GREAT JOB mate and 👏for Olaf making it with you on his back 😂😂😂👍amazing adventure!!!
That mud is something else… I am surprised that you still find something positive in all that mess😀 What a journey! Great videos and hopefully you'll make more🙂 happy cycling!
Another film proving you are among the best action video makers, Jan! Great job indeed once again! 😃👍 And don't worry, sooner or later a bear will cross your path on your savage trails 😄
You are so exciting about everything 🎉 with this dogs don't be scared just ignor them . If is very agresive you need to stop. They will not atack . Situation with the dogs from sheepfold is diferent into the mountains . You need to stop and good to have a peper spray if not cach some stones because can bite if many of them . But never turn with the back or run . Just keep your posture !
Bears you can see in Busteni, Sinaia there like dogs walking on the street 😂 verry less probably to see them into the deep forest . They can see you and smell you from long distance and avoid you. Anyway is good to carry a bear spray and never ever stay with your food into the tent in night ! Allot of wolfs also but you will never see. They avoid people like hell.
Werever you see Pension like hostels you can ask to stay with tent into the garden for a modic price . It seems that you don't find good bike trails there are there good forest roads and villages with honest people . Via Transilvanica is a nice hiking trail (1200 km ) that can be make with bike also ( not all) is a new road very impresive I hope that I can do it one day …..many caves , underground rivers , canions pfff you miss allot 😊😊
