Although still in the early stages of developing as a mountain biking destination, Jiu Valley offers practically unlimited destinations for it - without the traffic. Visitors can take mountain bikes practically anywhere in the area, and on any foot trails except in Retezat National Park. However, we suggest the following destinations:
Parang
Take your bike up the lift at Telescaun Parang. From the top, ride further up the mountain along the main hiking trail, or ride down the mountain on the dirt road leading from the resort to the valley below. (See "Destinations" for directions to the telescaun from Petrosani.)
Straja
Another option is to take the telescaun at the Straja resort. From there explore some of the trails leading from the top of Straja and along the Vulcan Mountain ridge, or ride your bike back down the dirt road to the city of Lupeni. (See "Destinations" for directions to the telescaun from Lupeni).
