    I don't want to be negativism for another countries, but Romania, i think is the most beautifull country in the Europe. Sea, mountains, danube delta, plain, hill, lakes, every form of Relief. I wish You all the Best!

    I'm from Serbia and I've been in Romania many times but it never ceases to amaze me. I would recommend everyone to visit Romania, to start with Timișoara that was the first mainland European city and just second in the world, after New York, to have electric public street lighting and then move east towards Lugoj, Deva, Sibiu and Brașov. I call the city of Sibiu "the time machine" because walking through the streets makes you feel like you went several centuries back in time.

    As an expatriate who now calls Romania home, it is 100% Gods country up there in the mountains. The rolls you had are so good when they are fresh and warm. Transalpina I think is actually more mind blowing and beautiful as a drive and scenery and stop and eat the tocana de oaie at Stana Stefanu...its a beautiful country and my home now and wouldn't be anywhere else.

    I'm Romanian and I want to thank you for the sincere promotion of my country! But because of so many beautiful landscapes this territory was conquered partly by the Roman Empire in 106 BC, partly by the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century, partly by the Habsburg Empire in the 18th century, partly by the Tsarist Empire in 19th century, totally by the communist power of the USSR after WWII until the 1989 revolution. However, Romanians have always remained hospitable to foreigners.
    That is the defining feature of this people!!!😊

    The Transfăgărășean was constructed between 1970 and 1974 during the rule of Nicolae Ceaușescu as a response to the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union. Ceaușescu wanted to ensure quick military access across the mountains in case of a Soviet invasion. At the time, Romania already had several strategic mountain passes through the Southern Carpathians, whether inherited from the pre-communist era (the DN1 and the high-pass DN67C) or built during the initial years of the Communist regime (the DN66). These passes, however, were mainly through river valleys, and would be easy for the Soviets to block and attack. Ceaușescu therefore ordered the construction of a road across the Făgăraș Mountains, which divide northwestern and southern Romania.
    Lower section of the road
    Built mainly by military forces, the road had a high financial and human cost. Work was carried out in an alpine climate, at an elevation of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), using roughly six million kilograms (5,900 long tons; 6,600 short tons) of dynamite, and employing junior military personnel who were untrained in blasting techniques. Many workers died; official records state that only 40 soldiers lost their lives, but unofficial estimates by workers put the number in the hundreds.
    The road was officially opened on 20 September 1974, although work, particularly paving of the roadbed, continued until 1980.

      I went there with my parents when it was just a gravel road.. quite an adventure. I only saw military vehicles on the road. We had to get out of the car at times as our old Moskwitch needed an occasional push. We also had to stop a couple of times to let the engine cool. One section was impossible to navigate in forward gear, even with pushing (well, I was 8 years old) so my dad had to drive in reverse, as the gear ratio was lower. After that trip, my dad decided to get a brand new modern car ... a Dacia 1100!

      I know the question is addressed to Sammy and Tommy but as you didn't get an answer yet, I can make some suggestions: you could go to Sinaia and visit Peleș Castle and from Bușteni you could visit the Caraiman Cross. Then you could visit Brașov, the medieval fortress of Râșnov, Bran Castle, please also admire the viewpoints from Moeciu and maybe even the Dâmbovicioara Cave. Then you can turn around and continue the road to Sibiu. From Sibiu you can take the Transfăgărășan Route just like in this video and you can also stop at Curtea de Argeș Monastery on the road. Depending on your time availability you can also visit the medieval city of Sighișoara. You need to rent a car, but please be careful while driving here, some people drive like maniacs and like there is no tomorrow. Of course these suggestions can be tweaked up and down, depending on your own interests, but please feel free to ask if you have any questions or if you need any kind of clarifications.

Peles castle you just need the day to see it, we stayed in Sibiu for about 2/3 days but it can be done in less time. The Transfagarashan took us the whole day because we took our time but it can def be a half a day. Driving was a tad challenging but if we can do it , so can you!

      @@SammyandTommy I second that suggestion, I've been on both the Transfăgărășan and the Transalpina, and I prefer the second slightly more (the scenery is more dramatic in some areas, and there's something special about being above the cloud line). There are valleys and canyons which are very scenic, even though the road is not as famous and marketed as the Transfăgărășan. The best way there is from Sibiu through the high altitude villages of Poiana Sibiului and Jina, both worth a stop and a walk (and a museum), down through Dobra, and then onwards on the Transalpina toward Rânca.

For Romanians it is vital to show travelers and foreigners the country in which they live, to UNDERSTAND what they are fighting for, to accept that they must get out of communist lethargy and LOVE this BUT called ROMANIA .Because it is.For you, the eyes and the mind that marvel at many hidden and undiscovered parts of the world, with parts of uniqueness and from which WE CAN all learn.We are on this unique land and I hate to accuse ourselves of nonsense and stupid idiots who instead of bringing people together make them hate each other .. for nothing.Your path is a pioneer but it is so full of the desire to know the world, to bring us, from parts of the world, to the same level, to KNOW each other.That way you become just a link between people.Ignorance and human stupidity make us stagnate and hate each other ... and YOU will break this wall.GO FURTHER ..only if you know the world, I'm not talking about people hiding behind a laptop who refuses to look at netfilx and see real life, people as they live.
      It is essential!
      I lived in America and I returned to the bears, to Trans-Fagarasan, to these poor Romanians tormented by distrust, fear of them, to Izvor and the root of a people who suffered enormously to begin today to believe in its value . The history of the Romanians and of this country is more blood than peace. I was, as a nation, a shield against many imperialist desires ... and yet the Romanians have been here .. for thousands of years. It's our piece of land, and we didn't want anything from anyone ... just to live in peace and continue to make our sarmales and our little ones.
      I have always been happy to be a guest and I made him feel nothing but joy when he stepped on the land of the Romanians and to feel at home.
      WHEN they came with the idea of conquest .. I had spikes for everyone.
      This is the mystery of a people that wants to evolve, that has EVERYTHING from God and that obliges us, today, to keep this unique and beautiful country ..and which you have only seen in passing.
      What I wish for you. For man alone is the brake of involution.
      Please go ahead, if that's what you want. Wait, build, and in a year you will see the profitability of YOUR WORK.
      I am totally with you and I support you because you leave traces on this earth ... and here is God.
      Getting out of the comfort and hypocrisy of today, giving up a sterile life with makeup, silicone and horsepower in the car means changing the world .. today, sick, pathetic and who wants another life .. TRUE.
      You have it, you create it, why are you afraid?
      Clearly people are on a great scale and change.
      You are the pioneers who bring clarity to the polluted minds of many.
      God Speed or in Romanian Go with God ..and one day when you will be on the peak ..you will understand your.
      And please do something else. Love and be totally possessed.Chain bodies and minds, seek total love in you Do not break up, do not accept gossip and filth from the outside. YOU ARE A FORTRESS ..impregnable.

      Yes, in many countries, including the good ole USA, feeding the wild life is not healthy for them, especially giving junk food to the ducks. But when one feeds a dangerous beast, it could end up being its death sentence because it might soon prefer to beg for snacks from other tourists. The rangers might be sent for, to either dope it up before transporting it, or more conveniently, simply kill it. Feeding junk to a bear strikes me as especially scary. It could end up being your own death sentence.

      @@MattMargaras, the ANU part is not correct, there's nothing diminutive in the name. The road is called TRANSFĂGĂRAȘAN because it crosses the Făgăraș mountains, where TRANS means "accros", "through", "beyond" and FĂGĂRĂȘAN means something that belongs to or originates from FĂGĂRAȘ (mountains, not the city). The AN part at the end has the same meaning as "american", "romanian", "italian" etc. Hope that's a bit clearer now. :)

    The chimney cake is so delicious. The best I've ever tasted was at the Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains. Just perfect!

    ”Built in the 70's, this is the Transfăgărășan highway! Six thound tons of dynamite were used to make it, and 40 lives lost... But from above it looks like every great corner, from every great race track in the world has been knitted togheter to create one unbroken grey ribbon of automotive perfection!” - Jeremy Clarkson.
    I am so lucky to live in the worlds most beautiful country and have the opportunity to see the Transfăgărășan road every summer!
