Cabana 84 exterior and courtyard entrance

Cabana 84, along your journey.

The route starts at Piața Libertății in Beclean, not at the cabin gate. Plan the connection from Băile Figa separately using the property pin.

The cabin is in Băile Figa, Aleea 2, Beclean. Use the property pin for the detour from the route. The host confirms private parking; motorcycle capacity, security and covered spaces need a phone discussion. Confirm stay dates directly, including dates outside summer.

Sources and verification.

Online research: . We have no confirmed date when these routes were last ridden or checked by motorcycle, and no own route photographs.

How are distance and time calculated?

Metres and seconds from the saved OSRM response. Car profile, no live traffic. The response does not identify the map data age or validate surface conditions or motorcycle access.
