    Country 29/193
    Want to travel on the Transfagarasan but don't want to rent a car? Book this day tour from Bucharest with a local guide! - www.getyourguide.com/buchares...
    The Transfagarasan Highway is Romania's most well known road and arguably the most beautiful! Top Gear magazine voted on the Transfagarasan as the GREATEST driving road in the world, & it lives up to the hype! We stopped at the Balea waterfall, cable car, & at the highways highest point there is a beautiful lake named Balea Lake. We stopped many times to learn this history and take in the views, and even saw THREE BEARS! We stopped at Vidraru Dam to marvel the engineering, and we were also able to view Vlad the Impaler's, AKA Dracula, ACTUAL castle - Poenari castle!
    Even though google says you can complete this drive in 2 hrs and 40 minutes, it took us all day, & we think this video shows why :)
    See ya Sunday in Bucharest!

    Holy dam! 😂 The views from that gondola looked amazing! So cool that you guys saw the bears…but how random that they send emergency notifications for that!

    • @AshleyandChristian

      Definitely made the gondola worth the extra detour! We definitely were not expecting the emergency alert to translate to bears 😂

    It's obviously not the most beautiful road in the world but it definitely is one of them. I would suggest you to visit Transalpina and Cheile Bicaz but to be honest there are so many incredible places to see that you need at least a month only to tick the box let alone actually seeing them. The country is very diverse and it's a hidden gem by all accounts.

      We’ll add those to our list! Even expanding beyond Romania there’s SO many beautiful drives. Switzerland, Canada, Argentina to name a few. So much to explore!!

    Howdy. Beautiful video blogs. If you arrive in the Crisana area (Oradea, the city is gorgeous), let me recommend you to visit the Baile Felix Resort with the famous thermal water lilies, with the wooden Orthodox Christian church. Apollo thermal beach. Also in the Crisana area, near the Beius town, is the Bears Cave

      If you mean just this road, then in Summer, it is usually closed during the rest of the year due to snow.
