They are bounded on the north by Barcău River, south of Mureș river, to the west by the Hills and the Western Plain, and to the east by the Hilly Depression of Transylvania.

displacement
aerial
There are no airports in the Apuseni area, but within a short distance from them are the airports in Cluj(wiki) (CLJ) - to the east and Oradea(wiki) (OMR) - the west. A little further are the Arad airports(wiki) (ARW), Baia Mare(wiki) (BAY), Satu Mare(wiki) (SUJ), Târgu Mureș(wiki) (TGM) and Timisoara(wiki) (TSR).
Railway
The Apuseni area is covered by the CFR 300 highway (between Cluj and Oradea) and the related secondary lines (see complete list on Wikipedia). Like the entire Romanian railway network, this area is also characterized by poor quality services, low frequencies and low commercial speeds.
For the program and tickets, you can consult the operators' websites:
- CFR Călători (line 300): http://www.cfrcalatori.ro/
- Interregional Passengers (lines 314, 316): http://www.viaterraspedition.ro/
- Regiotrans (lines 210, 317, 318): http://www.regiotrans.ro/
In addition to the normal gauge railway network, there are also certain narrow gauge lines (Mocănițe), at Brad-Crișcior and Abrud-Câmpeni (part of line 309), remnants of old industrial lines.
Road
There are five national roads that run through the Apuseni Mountains:
- DN1 Oradea city - Cluj-Napoca
- DN1R Huedin - Albac
- DN74 Fir - Abrud - Alba Iulia
- DN75 Turzii Plain - rustic - Stei
- DN76 Oradea - Brad - Deva
The rest of the road network is composed of county and communal roads. The quality is strongly variable. Many roads to tourist attractions have been paved or rehabilitated with European funds, but the main roads have only been repaired, leaving many bumps that do not allow high speeds.
