and the APUSENI LODGE Romania
We are Nicole and Didi and welcome you to your ultimate motorcycle adventure in Romania! We have been in the motorcycle business for a number of years and are passionate motorcyclists ourselves with a penchant for special activities and adventure. In the German Black Forest there are numerous wonderful motorcycling routes. There are even better ones in Apuseni Mountains and Transylvania, Romania! And that's exactly why we decided to focus our activities on this wonderful country with its fantastic natural landscape, rich history, pleasant continental climate and hospitable people. Which motorcyclist does not know the Transfagarasan and the Transalpina? We can't avoid having these biker magnets in our range either. But there are many places that are at least as beautiful and more beautiful away from the busy tourist hotspots, where you hardly ever meet a motorcyclist and where you can get to know Romania in its real and original form - and that's exactly what we want to show you! Traveling in Romania with a motor is an experience in a class of its own and a real treat that makes every biker, quad and Polaris heart beat faster, and off-road vehicle fans in particular will find a paradise of freedom here! We welcome all friends of motorized sports. Nevertheless, some of our offers are reserved for the special needs of bikers.
Our mission is simple:
Follow the roads that others ignore.
We warmly welcome you to our APUSENI LODGE Romania!
Apuseni Lodge
We have found the perfect place for our year-round lodge at a high standard in Avram Iancu in the municipality of Vârfurile, Arad district. Avram Iancu is first mentioned in 1390. In addition to Avram Iancu, the municipality of Vârfurile includes the villages of Groşi, Lazuri, Măgulicea, Mermeşti, Poiana and Vidra. The number of inhabitants of the municipality of Vârfurile is currently given as 2,715, which corresponds to a population density of 20 inhabitants per km².


Vârfurile is located at the foot of the Codru Moma Mountains on the Crișul Alb River, 128 km from the district capital Arad. Despite its secluded location in the middle of the hilly foothills of the Apuseni Mountains, Avram Iancu is well connected in terms of infrastructure to the nearby small towns of Vașcău and Ștei with their shops, the large market and even a hospital. Oradea, the county capital of the neighboring district of Bihor, is just 120 km away.
The Apuseni Mountains, from which our lodge takes its name, reach peaks of up to 1800 meters. It forms the northern section of the western Romanian Carpathians.
How to reach us
The journey usually takes place via Vienna. Drive via Györ past Budapest and Szolnok (Hungary) via the border crossing at Borș to Oradea (Romania) and further via Beiuș, Ștei and Vașcău on the DN76/E76 to Vârfurile. At the roundabout there, turn onto the DN79A and follow the signs "APUSENI LODGE Romania". Link to the route via Vianna
If you are coming from northern Germany, the best way to get to Romania is via the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We are happy to give you individual route recommendations.
Our Lodges
... are located on an idyllic hill with a view of the mountains in the middle of nature with good connections to shops and gas stations. The access road is newly created and asphalted. Our accommodation is superior and there is plenty of flat space for 4x4 drivers with roof top tents or RVs. Our lodges are open all year round. Living close to nature in winter with a warm shower and heating has a special charm that off-road vehicle drivers especially love! We attach great importance to comfortable accommodation and sustainability. This is particularly reflected in the wooden construction of our houses, the furnishing with ecologically produced products, the networking with local suppliers and the involvement of the local population in our activities. We set up our premises with a lot of passion, always with the aim of offering you an unforgettable stay in this wonderful environment. So that everything is prepared in such a way that it meets our and our guests' requirements, we need a little more time. From June 2023 we will be ready for you and look forward to your visit with us!
All our tours for 2023 can now be booked!

We deliberately have a manageable number of different tours in our offer, into which we continuously add new highlights. Our goal is not to drive as many tours as possible with as many drivers as possible, but to offer our drivers an unforgettable experience. We offer tours both on- and off-road or a combination of both. Our great advantages are our flexibility, our insider knowledge and our moderate pricing.
