The Bega River runs through Timișoara, and there are lovely paths alongside it. In the heart of the city, there are paved paths along both banks of the river, making for a fun 6.4 km loop between the Maria Bridge & Dacilor Bridge. There are nice views of the river, and the historic centre. This main route is also part of a verdant linear park route, with several waterfront parks featuring additional paths. There’s also a running track at Ştiința Stadium off the south bank, just west of the Andrei Șaguna Bridge. Bonus: much of the path along the river is lit at night.
Longer Run. From the Dacilor Bridge, it’s possible to follow the river east for another 5.2 km. Take the cycle path along the road for 1 km, run through Parcul Uzinei (park), and continue for another 3.8 km on a cycle path. This section gets more rural and is away from the river in sections, passing farm fields.
Cycle Path to Serbia. Headed further west, there’s a long-distance cycle path that follows the river for nearly 40 km to the Serbian border. Mix of paved & gravel surface. INFORMATION
