CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
A 255 km round trip from Boroşneu Mare - roughly 5 h 00 in the saddle. The stops in between: Râșnov - Cumidava / La Cetate, Voinești - Măilătoaia and back through Râșnov - Cumidava / La Cetate. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,250 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available.
Southeast of Sfântu Gheorghe, in Covasna county, the plain of the Râul Negru, the Black River, opens out between the mountains, a broad basin of fields, meadows and villages enclosed by the forested ridges of the Eastern Carpathians. Boroșneu Mare is one of the larger villages in this basin, a Székely community with a church and a cluster of farms, and the hill above it, Dealul Cetății, the Fortress Hill, takes its name from old earthworks or a fortification recorded there. It is one of many such sites in the area, more a landmark than a monument.

Boroșneu Mare - Pe Dealul Cetății is where the day begins. Next is Râșnov - Cumidava / La Cetate.
The Roman fort of Cumidava stood on a terrace near the village of Vulcan, just west of Râșnov, at the southern end of the Bârsa Land, guarding the route from Transylvania through the mountains to Wallachia. It was one of the forts on the eastern frontier of Roman Dacia, and its name, recorded on an inscription, is believed to be Dacian in origin. The site is part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire, Dacia, added to the UNESCO list in 2024. Little stands above ground, but the setting, with the mountains rising to the south, makes it clear why the Romans chose this spot.

Râșnov - Cumidava / La Cetate comes up about 59 km into the recorded legs. Next is Voinești - Măilătoaia.
The Rucăr-Bran corridor is one of the oldest passages through the Carpathians, and at its southern end, in the hills around Câmpulung Muscel, the Romans built a frontier line to guard it. The Limes Transalutanus, the frontier east of the Olt, ran north through this area, and small forts and watchtowers like the one at Voinești-Măilătoaia watched the valleys and the approaches to the pass. The sites are now low earthworks in fields and forest edges, and they belong to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire listing for Dacia, added by UNESCO in 2024.
