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 Ocland it runs 307 km to Ocland; allow about 6 h 02 of riding. It goes by way of Villages with Fortified Churches in Transy, Călugăreni - Cetate and back through Villages with Fortified Churches in Transy. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
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.

Sânpaul - Cetate is where the day begins. Next is Villages with Fortified Churches in Transy.
South of Sighișoara the hills fold into long, grassy valleys, and almost every one of them hides a village built around a church that was also a castle. This marker sits among them, close to Șaeș and Apold, two of the old Saxon settlements whose German names, Schaas and Trappold, still turn up on church plaques and in the memories of the few families who stayed.

Călugăreni lies in the Niraj valley in Mureș county, in the heart of the region known as Székely Land, and here the signs, the conversation and the church spires announce that you are in a Hungarian-speaking part of Romania. The Székelys are a Hungarian community who, for centuries, guarded the eastern borders of the kingdom, and their villages, with carved wooden gates and whitewashed churches, are among the most distinctive in Transylvania. In Hungarian, the village is called Mikháza.
