Greci MTB Tour

DESCRIPTION

Time: 3-5 h
Terrain: paved, dirt roads

Problems:
• Orientation problems due to the multitude of roads in certain sections;
• Risk of puncture from the fangs of the old woman or snakebite;
• Lack of water (there is only the Italian Spring for which it is necessary to deviate from the route);
• Dogs, usually peaceful, but which can be aggressive if they are among those accompanying the sheep;

Unique:
• Panoramic view on the Țuțuiatu Peak;
• Loess canyons.

The route starts from the center of the Greci commune and goes north, towards Dealul Școlii, climbing up to km 7, in the Îmbulzita area where the forest begins. From here we turn right and go along the edge of the forest to the barrier where a dirt road begins, at km 8.5.
The road climbs through loess canyons to km 11.5 where we turn right and climb under the Căpușa peak, we continue our way to km 14.5 where the Italienilor spring is located. We go down to it, cool off and return to the route.
We continue until close to Țuțuiatu, from where, using the tourist route, we can reach the Țuțuiatu saddle or the Țuțuiatu peak (if we want to shorten the route, from the Țuțuiatu saddle we can go down to Greci). After taking photos, we return to the trail, continue to km 24, where we turn right and begin to descend to the road next to the agricultural fields that begins at km 27.5 and leads us to the finish line of our trail.
