More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cold wind pushes through firs as the engine rumbles to life—steam from the exhaust misting the air like a challenge. The road out of Bucharest opens into broad fields and then tight mountain passes; by late morning the Bucegi slopes rise, trees thickening into a forest that seems to press forward toward the track. Riders pause for a cable-car lift in Azuga, and later stand beneath the carved turrets of Peles Palace, the royal residence watching the valley.
