Full description

You don't have to have sophisticated equipment to enjoy a bike ride around the city. But you should have a reliable bicycle that is well prepared for the season, a helmet and comfortable clothing. Sunglasses are optional, but quite useful, as well as a raincoat or a winddtopper and most importantly, don't forget about water! Otherwise, you can invite your friends or family for a ride and stop for a picnic in a clearing or any other place you like.

Before you set off, plan your itinerary and use a map. You can use different applications in which you mark your proposed route (and you can even share it with your fellow travelers), which will show you the total distance, elevation gain and loss and estimated time. That way you will know exactly what to expect.

Another recommendation would be to plan for a route in which you will be able to see or visit a tourist attraction or to make a circuit, so you don't return on the same road you started.

In the following, we will propose a cycling route nearby the city of Târgu Mureș, which leads to Teleki Castle in Gornești. The castle can be visited, and this will give you a possibility to relax and gather your strength for the road back to the city.

Itinerary: Târgu Mureș – Sângeorgiu de Mureș – Tofalău – Săcăreni – Călușeri – Pădureni – Gornești – Chinari – Târgu Mureș.

Highlights: Teleki Castle in Gornești

Teleki Castle was built in Baroque style, between 1771-1778, on the site of a former medieval fortress. The U-shaped castle plan with a high central dome above the main reception room is typical for the so-called Grassalkovich building style. The castle park was made in French style at first, but starting with the 19th century it became an English garden. In 1949 the property was nationalized, and in 1956, after a tuberculosis epidemic, it was turned into a Tuberculosis Preventorium for children. The owners got the castle back in 2006, but it only came into the possession of the Teleki family in 2011 and they immediately introduced it into the tourist circuit.
