Transylvania circle
Twelve days through fortified towns and Carpathian passes: Brasov and Bran, Sighisoara, Sibiu, Alba Iulia, Cluj-Napoca with Turda, then south again. Next-e, Eldrive, Ionity and Tesla where present; mountain and rural legs need careful SOC planning — charge in the cities before the ridges, not after.
Season: Best May to October. Mountain weather shifts fast; book overnight Next-e, Eldrive or hotel wallbox in Brasov, Sibiu and Cluj. Rural legs after Bran and before Turda ask for a cool battery and daylight departure.
