Track down the Carpathian mountains on a hard enduro motorcycle, a bike that gets through every terrain and takes you anywhere. On a 3 to 5 day off-road bike trip through valleys, along and through streams, on mountain ridges. Sleep in a different location (hotel) every night. Make memories lasting a lifetime.
3-day Avram Iancu Tour
5-day trip with 3-day riding tour in the Apuseni mountains in Transylvania. Sleep in hotels in skiing resorts, after good meals. Visit an iron mine. Enter a cave. Come across multiple places full of history of Avram Iancu, a national hero from the 19th century. See tons of mushrooms (depending on month and weather), and taste some. Grill your lunch on open fire. Cut through terrain you didn’t think is possible.
You arrive on day 1 in Cluj-Napoca (see how to get here) and sleep in a city hotel. In the morning of day 2 we leave, and spend the next 3 days and 2 nights in the mountains, and sleep in hotels along the path. The last (4th) night we arrive back in Cluj where you sleep in the city hotel again. The 5th day is returning home. (You can of course come earlier and leave later, for other activities in Romania.)
3-day Gold Rush Tour
5-day trip with 3-day riding tour in the Apuseni mountains in Transylvania. Sleep in hotels in skiing resorts, after good meals. Visit a historical underground gold mine with tunnels. This area has seen gold mining until a few years ago, previously in the Middle Ages by German settlers, before that by the Romans, and initially already during the Stone Age. Visit a gold mining museum. Come along an open-pit gold mine that operated until recently. Depending on season we may find lots of treasure in the forests in the form of mushrooms. Grill your lunch on open fire. Cut through terrain you didn’t think is possible.

Impressions
Motorcycles and protective gear
You get one of our six KTM EXC-F 350 hard enduro bikes, in perfect condition, with the seat for your body height.
You also get the whole set of safety equipment for your body size. Before the enduro trip we ask you for your measurements.
Requirements
The motorcycle driving license is a must for round trips. There are a few kilometers to ride on a connecting road, or in the towns where we spend the night. Our enduro bikes are registered and street legal.
You also need some riding experience, not necessarily off-road. You need to be fluent with gear shifting and breaking, else such a tour is too dangerous for you, and you would need a basic training first.

Enduro Nuts Tours
Out of 5 stars
Overall rating out of 48 Google reviews
If you want a great enduro experience, easy going for every level. Go Nuts or stay home!
Wir waren als Paar für drei Enduro-Tage angemeldet. Ergonomisch lag das Offroad-Training für mich schließlich doch nicht drin. Also bin ich mit meiner GS auf Asphalt gefahren, mit gleichem Ziel wie die Enduro-Jungs. Abends Treffpunkt im Hotel mit erstklassigem Essen, Whirlpool und Sauna. So hatten die Enduro-Jungs und ich ebenso unseren Spaß. Er ist ein sympathischer Kumpel und zeigte viel Verständnis. Ich kann die Enduro-Nuts bestens weiterempfehlen - auch wenn ich nur halb mit dabei war.
The best enduro tour you can imagine! Excellent guides with a wealth of knowledge and a passion for their work! CU!
Excellent experience If you wanna see the mountains and have a blast , you should definitely try the enduro nuts experience. Paul was the best. Period. Next time we’ll take the 3 days trip.
Incredible experience!! We spent the whole day with Paul and it was wonderful. He gave us his motorbikes, which are very well prepared, guided us perfectly and taught us a lot of concepts that we as beginners didn't know. By the end of the day we were confident enough to face considerably difficult steeps. Amazing experience, and although we had 0 energy remaining by the end of the day, I would highly recommend to anyone who likes bikes and mountains to try, the feeling when you are high in the mountains, seeing the landscape and riding your bike cannot be described with words. And after all the journey Paul took us to his friends wonderful pizzeria, with the best pizzas I had in a long time. Thank you very much Paul from Carlos, Pato and Juan, and see you soon!
Very kind staff. Thank you 🤙🏼 Best Andi
Zwei Tage zurück von der Tour. Immer noch mit einem Grinsen im Gesicht. Vielen Dank Paul, vielen Dank Alex und Grüsse an die England-Fraktion. Absolute Empfehlung für jeden der mal von der Strasse runter möchte. Nicht zu vergessen Cluj- sicher, sauber und definitiv den ein oder anderen Zusatztag wert.
One in a lifetime experience. We booked the 3 days riding adventure tour. At the first moment we met Paul we immediately felt the energy and passion for enduro riding. He showed us the equipment and it was of the highest quality and in perfect condition. Paul kept always his cool and educated us perfectly how to get one with the bike and how to have more control while riding. He is such an experienced, humble and funny person, just amazing. This trip was one of the coolest experience I made in my life. We will be back for sure next year. Thanks again Paul for everything.
Spent 3 days with Paul over the mountains. If there was ten stars I'd give him them. From start to finish it was an amazing 3 days. The bikes, gear and terrain were exceptional. Memories for a lifetime were made here. Accommodation was fantastic aswell.
What an amazing experience! First time in Romania and did the 5 day tour. Great accommodation. Food was great. The terrain was beautiful and Paul is a great guide and will have this memory engraved in my head for a lifetime
This was the best adventure I had in my life! First I was afraid that my skills wouldn't be enough for this tour, as I never did off-road bevor and also didn’t drive my Ducati for more than 12 years. We have been a group of four guys, all only experienced (more or less) on streetbikes. But from the first moment we met Paul, he gave us a feeling of security that he would take care of us. And that’s what he did! First there was the excellent equipment in really good condition, he showed us to use comfortable and safe. Than he taught us respect for the terrains at the same time he let us get trusted to the bikes and ourselves. In only one first practice Paul assessed the different abilities and knew what is the right track for our group. Hour by hour we got more self-confidence and improved our skills (because we listened to Paul's clear instructions) and Paul adapted the standard constantly to our progress. At the beginning it was tiring, but then the fun came. We did an amazing trip through the mountains and forests. Every hour a complete different view, different surrounding, different terrain, different challenges. The only constant was Paul’s incredible way of being! funny, friendly, helpful, certainly, motivating, calmly, … Thank you Paul for giving this incredible experience to me. I will come back, see you soon. Best wishes Richard p.s.: „It’s all about the clutch!“
This was the fourth time I booked with Enduro Nuts and they never cease to impress me! I live in London so I try and go out on rides with them whenever I come visit family in Romania. The ride was amazing and the bikes were top notch and well maintained as always. We booked a full day trip next to Cluj and we had a blast. Safety was always the main priority and we could always choose whether we wanted to go across a feature or not. The gear was clean, new and it perfectly fitted my body. (They ask you about your sizes during the booking process if you don’t have your own gear). The staff was super friendly and gave me very helpful advice on my technique. The ride improved throughout the day because of the great coaching I received.
Thank you Paul for that great experience! I was having two days of Enduro training and tour as an „experienced“ street bike rider without any off-road knowledge. I was getting great tips and exercises to challenge my self and improve my ride. And all of this was done on the ride, so I enjoyed the landscape and saw my improvement. Due to the personalised tour I felt safe at all time. Thanks again!
Such a well organised tour. Paul and Cristi were extremely professional and easy going. The gear was great quality and the bikes never missed a beat. We covered alot of ground over the 3 days and seen some amazimg scenary. Highly recommend to anyone.
Paul is such an amazing guy and guide! I had a blast driving in the mountains with him. Easy to communicate with prior to the tour, a very good teacher and it really shows that he loves what he does. He will adjust the difficulty for your circuit depending on how proficient you are on an enduro bike so don’t hesitate if you’re a beginner, intermediate or expert driver. Highly recommend! Thanks again Paul! I’ll come back one day hopefully.
This training was AMAZING!! I’ve learned so much and my trainer, Paul, has so so much patience. We had few hours of basic training about maneuvering the bike and then we went riding up the hills. Such a great experience! Definitely will come back🤍

If you would like to ride more than just 3 days, combine this tour with more off-road motorcycling. After 3 days on the bike it is usually a good idea to have a break for a day to relax, and Cluj is the right place for that.
