If you are on the way to or from the seaside or just in the area and want to do a soft offroad, there is a road that runs along the Danube-Black Sea channel between Agigea and Murfatlar and will take you also at the spectacular Youth Monument located on the canal bank about halfway.

I traveled the road coming from the coast. At Agigea, instead of climbing the bridge that crosses the Danube-Black Sea Canal, take a right turn before the bridge and turn left under it. You will see a very narrow road that goes right on the bank of the canal and another one that goes up to the left of it. You will have to take the right road first. The road is quite wide, unpaved but relatively ok in terms surface quality. It can be traveled with an adventure motorcycle at an average speed of 40km / h. It is quite straight but from time to time there are turns and some climbs and descents but nothing spectacular. In the slope areas, you will have to be a little more careful because there is often more gravel on the road and you can skip.

The problem is that the road goes up on the bank of the canal, the banks being quite steep and about 15 m high, from here from the top you can hardly see the water. And then you can try the very narrow road that goes right on the bank of the canal, right next to the water. From the top road, from time to time, if you pay attention, you will notice that there are some roads that go down to the bottom road on the canal bank. Be cautious because some of them have been swamped by vegetation and in some places you will hardly pass. In the same state is the road on the water’s edge but that’s his charm. The Youth Monument is about 13 km from Agigea and about 9Km from Murfatlar and is only accessible from the road above, so be careful not to miss it. From the monument’s platform you can see the Black Sea – Danube canal, being one of the few places on the route from where you can admire the channel from above. There is also such a lookout point right next to Murfatlar where the giant letters that make up the city’s name after the Hollywood model are located. The road ends at the intersection with DN3, from where you can enter the A2 Motorway or go to the center of Murfatlar.
