A beautiful trail, medium difficulty for hikers, difficult for MTB.
The route starts and ends at the last public transport station in Magura. Public transport services from Măgura to Bacău are hourly on the hour during the working day and from Bacău to Măgura hourly on the hour and a half.
The route follows the valley of the Negel stream and after a few kilometres turns right, climbing up the forest road and crossing some beautiful glades.

The routes of the Via Bacovia Trail competition stretch over the beautiful western hills of Bacau. The trails follow forest and meadow roads and paths, taking you through beautiful, gentle forests and over hills that offer beautiful views of Bacău, villages and the valley.
This is the route of the 2022 edition, organised by the Oleacă Bicyclists Association and the County Athletics Association, with funding from the Bacău County Council.
The terrain surface is typically hilly, with most of the route being clay. In places the running surface will be covered in leaves under which twigs and stones may be hidden. On some small stretches we will have rock/stone and a very small part, after the start and before the finish, tarmac. In wet weather we will have to deal with soft, slippery surfaces, which is why running shoes with moulded ‘hard ground’ soles are recommended – we recommend these, soft ground soles can only be used if the ground is dry.
