Route description

The competition will start in the town of Panciu and will start in a platoon using the DN2L road to the localities of Crucea de Jos and Satul Nou. After passing through the two localities, the competition route will continue to Tifesi, using the DJ205B road.
Before entering the commune of Tifesti, the competitors will face a small climb, but enough to warm up before the technical start.

In the commune of Tifesti, the route will continue on a false flat slope when it turns right towards Vidra, crossing the localities of Sârbi, Vitănesti, Serbesti, Iresti, Voloscani, using the DJ205E road.
The change of direction towards Vidra is equivalent to the technical start of the competition.
From Vidra, the route will continue to the commune of Câmpuri, crossing the localities of Livezile, Vizantea Răzăsească and Vizantea Mănăstirească, also on the DJ205E road.

The entire Tifesti – Câmpuri route is full of climbs that in most cases you can tackle on your pedals to keep your best place in the ranking. Along the route you will be able to admire the most beautiful wine-growing area of Vrancea, crowned by the Odobesti Mountain, which will accompany you to Vidra on the left side of the road.

Vidra – Câmpuri already means the Vrancea Mountains studded with greenery, clean air and curves!
Once in Câmpuri, the route heads towards the finish line, with the city of Panciu as its destination. The towns crossed will be Câmpuri, Răcoasa, Varnita, Muncelu, Străoane, Crucea de Sus, Varnita, following the DN2L road.

Above Străoane, the queen climb of the race awaits you, where we will record the best climbing times for the KOM! After Străoane, there is a continuous descent to Panciu.
