Distance and timing basis
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.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Hurez - La Frasin 1
This corner of Sălaj sits along the Roman frontier of Dacia, which makes it a more serious place than its gentle hills suggest. West of Zalău the Meseș mountains rise in a long wooded ridge, and through them runs a natural gate, the Meseș Pass, which the Romans fortified as part of their northern defences. The great site of Porolissum, with its fort, civil settlement and amphitheatre, stands on a ridge nearby, and the watchtowers and small works scattered across the hills belong to the same system.

Planning note
Hurez - La Frasin 1 is where the day begins. Next is Fildu de Sus - Grebăn.
2. Fildu de Sus - Grebăn
Fildu de Sus is strung along a valley in the hills between Ciucea and the Crasna country, where the Apuseni mountains soften into rounded, grassy ridges, and Greban, the hill in the label, is one of those ridges. The valley is small and green, with a stream, a line of houses, and orchards climbing the slopes, and it feels a long way from the main road that carries the traffic between Cluj and Oradea. Poieni and Ciucea are the nearest villages, and Negreni lies a short distance to the east.

3. Treznea
The northern frontier of Roman Dacia ran through the hills of Sălaj county, near Zalău, and Treznea is one of the places where its watchtowers, ramparts and forts left traces. The Frontiers of the Roman Empire, Dacia, were listed as a World Heritage Site in 2024, covering hundreds of sites across Romania. Nearby, on a ridge above the valley, Porolissum was the largest Roman town and military complex on this frontier, with a reconstructed gate, an amphitheatre and walls, and it is one of the most impressive Roman sites in Romania.
