The route can be on the Gostinu – Comana route, with a distance of 27 km, for beginners, families and people with disabilities, or it can be a Gostinu – Comana – Gostinu roundabout route, 54 km away, for those most experienced in cycling tours.
The route starts from Gostinu on DJ507 and goes north towards Băneasa village, from where we enter DN41 and we go to the east, passing through the village of Pietrele, from where we leave the county road and we enter the road Morii street and we climb to Vlad Tepes village, crossing the river Gurban and walking past Lake Gurban. From Vlad Ţepeş we enter DC87 which leads us to the intersection with DJ603 in front of the Comana Thorn Reserve. Then we follow the county road that passes through the Comana Natural Park to reach Comana.
For the advanced, we will rest and relax a bit here in Comana, and then we start on the same route back to Gostinu.
Located in Comana, the „Gellu Naum” Memorial House is actually the summer house of the great surrealist poet, which is preserved the way it was, when Gellu Naum spent his summers here.
This place was for the writer a place where he retreated into his own creation universe, a place of isolation from the social and political context of the era (1968). Today, the house has entered anonymity. However, inside you can see the author’s world, reminiscences highlighted by the collection of small objects and the organization of spaces.
The built ensemble comprises two parts: the cultural foundation space and rooms for accommodation.
Comana Monastery is a religious edifice included in the list of historical monuments in Romania, built by Vlad the Impaler in 1461, with the role of a monastery-fortress (ruined until the end of the 16th century).
The church of the Comana monastery, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was rebuilt in the nineteenth century, and in 1971 these works led to the discovery of a fragment of a funerary stone inscription, indicating the stone tomb of Ancuta, the daughter of Radu Serban.
In 1908, the entire architectural complex of Comana was restored by the Historic Monuments Commission to retreat, especially after the Second World War.
The penultimate works – the extensive restoration of the cult took place between 1970-1977 and were interrupted in 1978 when the Department for Historical Monuments was disbanded. The church, severely affected by the earthquakes of 1977 and 1986, was fully consolidated between 1988 and 1990.
In 2008, with the help of the Diocese of Giurgiu, the interiors, as well as the royal cellar and the library were restored.
