Transfăgărășan
Top Gear called it the best driving road in the world — 90 km of hairpins over the Făgăraș range.
About
Ceaușescu had the Transfăgărășan built in the early 1970s as a military escape route in case of Soviet invasion. It climbs to 2,042m at Bâlea Lake, with tunnels, hairpins, and the long Bâlea waterfall on the south side. The road opens in late June and closes again in late October or early November — the high section above the treeline is the showpiece. Allow a full day; not a road to rush.
Worth knowing
Closed November–June above 1,200m. Check official status before driving.
