See the route map
Distance and duration are calculated by OSRM using its car profile and OpenStreetMap data, without stops or live traffic. This is a planning GPX, not a recorded ride. Stop detours and the connection to Cabana 84 are excluded.
The Cluj–DN17–Tihuța–Vatra Dornei corridor appears in a German motorcycle travel report. Our guide extends it to Câmpulung Moldovenesc and fixes Beclean as a reference. The historical report does not prove current road conditions or usage frequency.

The GPX and map share the same calculated geometry. Import the file into your navigator and check restrictions, signs and access. Google Maps may calculate a different road; use stage links for the loop. Download GPX ↗
The stages add up to the calculated route. Times are car-model estimates without breaks, not measured motorcycle riding times.
Leave Cluj through the Dej reference towards Beclean. The calculation includes county roads; it is not exclusively DN1C/DN17.
Navigate this stage ↗Continue from Beclean to Bistrița with an urban reference. Confirm a stop and centre access; a fuel stop can be planned in town.
Navigate this stage ↗Through Prundu Bârgăului and Piatra Fântânele towards Vatra Dornei. The Piatra Fântânele reference identifies the village, not the highest pass point.
Navigate this stage ↗Continue towards Câmpulung Moldovenesc on the DN17 corridor. The endpoint is a town reference; plan Bucovina attraction access separately.
Navigate this stage ↗Documented stops, not tested by Cabana 84. Check opening hours and access; detours are excluded from the distance.
In Bistrița, OMV’s official list gives Str. Libertății 54 and Calea Moldovei f.n. Rompetrol lists a Dej–Bistriței station. Check the station suitable for your route and opening hours in the operator’s locator; do not assume fuel at every mountain waypoint.
Popasul Drumețului advertises a restaurant on DN17 near Beclean (km 28+280). A possible meal or coffee stop when passing through. Confirm opening hours and motorcycle access directly with the operator.
Popasul Drumețului — Beclean ↗You can combine coffee with the restaurant stop after confirming service. These venues have not been tested by us. Choose legal parking away from the carriageway.
Road references in the calculation: DJ151, DJ161C, DJ161D, DJ172F, DJ173C, DJ175B, DN1, DN17, DN17VO, DN1C, DN1F, DN1N, DNVGH, DNVOCNE.
The calculation may use side streets and shortcuts. We have no recent inspection of asphalt, gravel or roadworks and do not assign a verified difficulty rating.
INFOTRAFIC ↗Prepare for town crossings and the Tihuța and Mestecăniș approaches. Local reporting described planned DN17 repairs on 21 August 2026; completion is not confirmed here. Piatra Fântânele is a village reference, not a verified viewpoint coordinate.
Check weather for Bistrița, Piatra Fântânele, Vatra Dornei and Câmpulung Moldovenesc. Mountain crossings may bring cold, fog or ice; check restrictions on departure day. No guaranteed access months are advertised.
ANM ↗Map points are route references, not viewpoints or parking with verified access. Confirm parking at your chosen stop and avoid stopping on the carriageway for photographs.
Finish at Vatra Dornei and omit the final stage to Câmpulung. For a Colibița detour, use the separate guide and recalculate the distance; it is not a diversion around a DN17 closure.
Beclean is an intermediate stop between Cluj and Bistrița. Cabana 84 is in Băile Figa: plan the detour from the town reference separately. Depending on travel direction, arrange a stay before or after the mountain stage.
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.
Online research: . We have no confirmed date when these routes were last ridden or checked by motorcycle, and no own route photographs.
