Just realized that I never spent to much time time taking pictures of the road itself due to obvious reasons ... ....However, the road looks like this : And you can read some things about it here : http://romaniatraveldestinations.com/the-transalpina-road-in-romania/ Awesome pics! Thanx for taking the time to show us all a different part of the world. Awaiting next years You are very welcome @cruzinaz ! If you'll plan a trip around these parts you should take into consideration not only the motorhead roads (Transfagarasan,Transalpina,Tihuta Pass, Cheia Pass, Rucar-Bran Pass,etc,etc,etc) but places like the Danube Delta ,Bran Castle (you know - Dracula's place according to Bram Stoker :tongue2: ), Peles Castle, Salina Turda Mines,Vama Veche,Mamaia and I could go on for pages about other amazing places to visit. Roads are getting better and better with every year and people are so hospitable you'll never want to leave (really, there is a growing number of foreigners that visited Roamnia and decided to stay forever ). My pictures show nothing of these places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted November 27, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 27, 2013 I've been to Cluj, Romania, many years ago, to build some houses with Habitat for Humanity. Now that Romania is in the EU, I'm sure it will be even more rapidly developing. Still a bit far away from me, though! Welcome to the forum.

Been there last year for a few very enjoyable days. I heard about Habitat for Humanity. It was a very good program that teached a lot of people about the importance of voluntariate . Thanks a lot !

sorin128 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 The surface looks really ruff, have they repave it ? Not entirely. Trying elbow drags is not recomended. Transalpina however is the oposite story in terms of surface. Welcome! How far away do you live from the Transfăgărășan Highway?

The road is not opened all year round as you know...... I would like to go in July or August. Ideally, I want to pick up a bike in Europe and leave it in Hungary (family there) when I was done. I figured Budapest to Bucharest for sightseeing and to set up "base camp," and from there some day excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
