Transalpina

Transalpina, also known as DN67C, is Romania's highest paved mountain road and one of Europe's most spectacular drives. The road ascends to over 2,100 meters in elevation through the southern Carpathians, connecting the historic regions of Transylvania and Oltenia. Along the way, the landscape unfolds with dramatic ridges, deep valleys, and far-reaching panoramic views dominated by jagged mountain peaks and rolling alpine meadows. The sharp hairpin turns and long, open stretches make Transalpina an icon among road trip enthusiasts, motorcyclists, and nature lovers. Along the route, there are small, undisturbed stops perfect for picnics with a view and encounters with local shepherds who still guide their flocks over the mountains in summer. The fresh mountain air, wildflowers, and constant sense of raw nature give the journey a unique intensity. The weather changes quickly, and fog may roll in, transforming the scenery into something almost magical and mysterious. Transalpina is not merely transportation from point A to point B; it is a journey through Romania's wild, unspoiled soul, where the forces of nature and the silence are as memorable as the road itself.
