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.
From Corund it runs 278 km to Corund; allow about 5 h 14 of riding. It goes by way of Baraolt - Véczer, Râșnov - Cumidava / La Cetate and back through Baraolt - Véczer. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,100 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Corund is a village where almost every house seems to sell pottery. Stalls line the main road through this Székely community in Harghita county, piled high with plates, jugs and bowls in white, blue, green and brown, painted with flowers and birds. Pottery has been made here for centuries, using local clay, and the craft is still alive, though much of what is sold today is made for tourists. Păuleni and the hill called Dealul Silaș lie nearby, an archaeological site among many in this land of rolling hills and forested ridges, with little to see on the ground.

Păuleni - Dealul Silaș is where the day begins. Next is Baraolt - Véczer.
In Baraolt you are more likely to hear Hungarian than Romanian. This small town lies in Covasna County, in the heart of the Székely Land, where the Székely Hungarian community has lived for centuries, with its own traditions, carved wooden gates, Calvinist and Catholic churches and a fierce sense of identity. Véczer, near Baraolt, is one of the points on the eastern frontier of Roman Dacia, where small forts and watchtowers watched over the passes through the eastern Carpathians, and it belongs to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire listing for Dacia, added by UNESCO in 2024.

Baraolt - Véczer comes up about 76 km into the recorded legs. 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.
