Moments to expect during the Timisoara bike tour:
Fabrik Stadt - industrial old & new
We start our tour by going into Fabrik Stadt (neighborhood). Many factories and industrial plants were built here to be close to Bega river. Some abandoned, some still in use, this area was very important to the city's history. On our way we pass through the Gate of Honor - what's that? :)
Elisabeth Stadt - a royal but local neighborhood
Next, we bike to Elisabeth Stadt after crossing parks along the Bega canal. After visiting the famous student campus and a hidden garden we arrive at the heart of Elisabetin as the locals call it, and the beautiful Carmen Sylva park. This is where Romanians were allowed to build houses under Ottoman rule in the 18th century and later flourished under Austrian influences - hence the name!
bohemian Josephin Stadt
Finally, we bike to Josefin: the city's idyllic neighborhood with aristocratic houses of Art Nouveau and Neo-Reinassance inspiration. The city's rulers and rich elite lived here and there are many interesting stories and facts important for the city's history that we'll learn. One last bike ride on the Bega Canal back before we end our tour!
