The TransApuseni road starts in the village of Rachitele just as the paved road finishes. Theoretically this road should have been finished since 2013 but because of some corruption scandals, the works have been ceased and only the western half of the road is paved. The name of the road comes form the name of the mountains that it crossed: Apuseni Mountains.
Segment 1 – average riding speed 50-70km/h:
About two kilometers before Padis Hut, finally the asphalt begins. The road from this point up to Boga village, was paved 2-3 years ago, so the surface of the road is very good. Sadly the administrator of the road doesn’t cleans the sand that is spread on the road during the winter months so the grip is very low. This segment is many on the top of the mountains, so the views are just superb.
Segment 2 – average riding speed 40-60Km/h
This is the descent to Boga and there are a lot of turns, part of them are hairpins. The asphalt surface is very good and there is less sand than on the summit segment of the road. The road is mainly through the forest and there are few places where you can admire the surroundings.
Segment 3 – average riding speed 80-90Km/h
The road from Boga to Pietroasa is mostly on the bottom of a valley along the river Crisul Pietros. There are a lot of curves, and the road is very narrow. Because the forest is very dense and it covers the road, in some areas you get the impression that you cross through a green tunnel. Towards the end of this segment the mountains are left behind and the road becomes wider and faster.
