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 Reci it runs 284 km to Reci; allow about 5 h 25 of riding. It goes by way of Baraolt - Véczer, Sânpaul - Cetate, Băile Homorod - Cekend and back through Sânpaul - Cetate. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 800 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available.
Reci lies on the flat floor of the Târgu Secuiesc basin, in Covasna county, where the Olt river meanders between mountains in the heart of the Szekler Land, the Hungarian-speaking region of eastern Transylvania. The site known as Reci - Cetate, the fortress, belongs to the eastern line of the Roman frontier in Dacia, part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire inscribed in 2024. The Romans guarded the passes through the Carpathians with forts and towers here, though today the site is little more than a raised area in the fields.

Reci - Cetate 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 62 km into the recorded legs. Next is Sânpaul - Cetate.
Sânpaul, Homoródszentpál to its Hungarian-speaking inhabitants, is a village in the Homorod valley in Harghita county, in the heart of the Székely Land of eastern Transylvania. Near the village, the Romans built a fort on the eastern edge of their province of Dacia, guarding routes through the hills from the Carpathians. The remains, now earthworks in the fields, are part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire, Dacia, listed by UNESCO in 2024. Nearby Ocland has a medieval fortification on a hill known as Hășmaș castle.

about 99 km into the recorded legs you reach Sânpaul - Cetate. Next is Băile Homorod - Cekend.
Deep in the forests of Harghita county, in the heart of the Székely Land, the small spa of Băile Homorod sits in a valley among spruce and beech, with wooden villas, mineral springs and the smell of resin in the air. The springs here produce borvíz, naturally carbonated mineral water, which the Székely people drink as their everyday water and believe has healing powers. Cekend is the name attached to a nearby hill site on the eastern line of Roman Dacia's frontier, one of hundreds of components listed together as a World Heritage Site in 2024.
