Description

Slicing through the forbidding Făgăraş Mountains, the Transfăgărăşan Rd offers some of Transylvania's most memorable views. You're sure to have an iron grip on the steering wheel as you navigate its sharp bends. Road access is seasonal, usually between June and early October, but check weather conditions locally.
