GPS Off-Road Tour Guide to Romania

Book including code for data download

For this GPS Off-Road Touring Guide, we spent eleven weeks exploring adventurous trails across Romania in 2020. The result is a collection of 36 off-road routes through breathtaking forest and mountain landscapes. We drove every route ourselves, recorded the GPS data, wrote detailed descriptions and documented each route with photographs.

GPS Off-Road Touring Guide to Romania

This 4×4 touring guide features 36 detailed off-road route descriptions together with the corresponding waypoint lists.

We travel across grassy mountain ridges with spectacular views and follow rivers through dense forests. Narrow trails along steep hillsides, extreme gradients and muddy sections frequently add an extra sense of adventure.

The guide also includes information about castles, bears and interesting off-road campsites, as well as useful tips on off-road driving and navigation.

Each route is given a difficulty rating (SG), making it easier to assess the route in combination with the vehicle classes (FZK). We have also rated the routes using a star system based on our impressions of driving enjoyment, scenic beauty and the overall experience. These star ratings are, of course, highly subjective.

The travel guide also includes general travel information about Romania and useful tips on off-road driving.

Data Download

With the data download, you will receive the following for each route:
– all GPS tracks and waypoints (GPX)

The ‘GPS Data’ folder contains three subfolders. These include the route, track and waypoint list for each off-road route in two different file formats: a KML file for viewing in Google Earth and a GPX file, the standard exchange format for navigation software and GPS devices.

We hope you enjoy this travel guide and wish you an exciting and memorable journey.
