Transfagarasan Road Trip

Known for its impossible bends in the mountains of Transylvania and Valaquia, you'll feel like you're in an action movie as you discover the famous Transfagarasan Road.

Description

We'll start the day by picking you up from your hotel in Bucarest at the indicated time. From there, we'll head to the Transfagarasan Road, built in the 70s by the Romanian armed forces to provide strategic access to the provinces of Transylvania and Valaquia.

Before we set out on the famous road, we'll stop at Curtea de Arges, known for its beautiful monastery and as a burial ground for the Romanian royal family.

We'll travel through the spectacular bends in the Transfagarasan Road while we climb between the mountains, and we'll pass by the Vidraru Dam. Here we'll take a short pause to take photos of the scenery.

As we continue our route, we'll reach the highest point on Transfagarasan Road: Lake Balea, a glacial lake surrounded by mountains. We'll have two hours to have lunch in one of the restaurants in this popular spot, providing another photo opportunity.

After our meal, we'll return to Bucarest on the opposite side of the road, allowing us to appreciate the incredible scenery until our scheduled arrival at your hotel occurs 12 hours after pickup.
