Transfagarasan Highway
Many associate Romania with Count Dracula, but to us, it is the home of the fantastic Transfagarasan. This 90-km stretch of tarmac winds its way through the mountains, and was originally built as a military route. Today it joins the regions of Transylvania and Wallachia and traverses some of Romania’s tallest peaks. The road’s collection of tunnels, viaducts and endlessly varying corners of different camber and elevation make this drive a fitting addition to your bucket list
