Discover Cheia: Hiking Trails, E-Bikes and Romanian Cuisine

The Transylvania Amphitheater is located at 62C Cheia. It is a multifunctional venue with accommodation, a restaurant, an event area, a leisure area and a viewpoint. From Cheia, the Transylvania Amphitheater can be reached by mountain bike. On foot, you can get there via the T9 ecotourism trail. The venue therefore combines several clearly defined areas at the same address: accommodation, dining, events, leisure and the viewpoint are all part of the description of the amphitheater.

Nature and Trails

A marked, easy hiking trail begins in Moieciu de Sus. It leads to a viewpoint and the Transylvania Amphitheater. The trail then descends to the village of Cheia. Along the road, it leads back to Moieciu de Sus. The route therefore includes the starting point of Moieciu de Sus, the viewpoint, the amphitheater and the village of Cheia before ending back at the starting point on the road.

The moderately difficult Blue Flow Line MTB trail is 2.93 kilometers long. It runs from Fundata Resort to Moieciu Resort. Another cycling connection is designated 03MB35. The 03MB35 cycling route runs along a paved road through Cheia and offers many viewpoints overlooking Piatra Craiului and Bucegi. On the approach via Cheia, the route passes through the Cheile Grădiștei gorge, cut into the rock. Thus, for this cycling connection, both the paved road through Cheia and the viewpoints and rock-cut section are explicitly part of the described route.

Exploring by E-Bike

The Cheile Grădiștei complex offers E-bikes for self-guided excursions without a guide. E-bikes for self-guided excursions without a guide are also available at Cheile Grădiștei. In addition, guided E-bike tours lasting two to four hours are offered there. Alongside the self-guided excursions without a guide, the offering therefore also includes guided tours lasting between two and four hours.

Cuisine and Weekly Market

Moieciu Restaurant serves Romanian dishes. These include a generous selection of game, Balmeș and Bulz. The wider menu also includes veal stew prepared in a cauldron and Pomana porcului. Another dish representing the restaurant’s Romanian cuisine is Papanași with sour cream and jam. The dishes therefore range from game, Balmeș and Bulz to cauldron stew, Pomana porcului and Papanași with their explicitly mentioned accompaniments.

In the municipality of Moieciu, the weekly market takes place on Fridays as a gathering of local producers. Agricultural products and food products are sold there. The market takes place provided that weather conditions permit. The weekly market is therefore scheduled for Friday and associated with the sale of products from local producers; its operation remains dependent on weather conditions.

Culture in Cheia

The “Adormirea Maicii Domnului” Church is located in Cheia. It is listed under LMI code BV-II-m-A-11633. The name of the church and its associated LMI code are therefore recorded for the locality of Cheia.
