Banat MTB Marathon has reached its 9th edition this year. The organizers have not yet posted on the website, at this time, the details of the event such as route details and registration fee, but you can mark the date of August 4th in your calendar. If the event is too far from home, then you can try to take a week of vacation or leave, as the case may be. You can start or end your stay with the competition and spend the rest of the time on your bike on the MTB trails in the Semenic Mountains. We can guarantee that you will not regret it ;)
Why mountain biking in Garana and Semenic?... because at 1000 m altitude, soft hills are crossed by roads and beaten paths; bright pastures with the scent of thyme and wildflowers make you smile. Because you have challenging climbs through cool forests to Semenic Mountain, and up at 1400 Semenic is the great high plateau covered with meadows on whose smooth or slightly undulating expanse rise piles of gray rock. It is surrounded by forests from which waters flow abundantly in all directions and form beautiful valleys. Here, single trails are at home, fast descents that keep you breathless.
After the tour, there is a swim in the cool water of Lake Trei Ape and relaxation on the pontoon on the lake surrounded by fir forests.
Garana or Wolfsberg, a village founded by ethnic Germans - Pemi - reminds us of times when people valued simplicity. Today, Garana is the village of artists, the place for true seekers of beauty.
