Driving along Transalpina (DN67C) is one of the most unforgettable road trips you can experience in Romania. As the country's highest road, reaching an altitude of 2,145 meters at Urdele Pass, it offers breathtaking mountain scenery, winding roads, and countless panoramic viewpoints that make you want to stop every few kilometers.

What I love most about Transalpina is that the journey itself is the attraction. As you climb higher into the Parâng Mountains, you'll be surrounded by endless alpine landscapes, rolling hills, and spectacular mountain views. Whether you're traveling by car or motorcycle, it's a route that's every bit as memorable as the destinations along the way.

If you're visiting during the warmer months, take your time and enjoy the drive. There are plenty of places to pull over, take photos, and simply admire the scenery. It's one of those roads where the best memories are often made between the stops.

✨ Tips

• The road is usually open only during the warmer months (typically from late spring to autumn), so always check road conditions before your trip.

• Start your drive in the morning to avoid traffic and have plenty of time for photo stops.

• Don't rush—there are countless viewpoints along the route that are worth stopping for.

• Temperatures at the highest point can be much lower than in the valleys, so bring a jacket even on sunny days.

• Keep an eye out for sheep and cattle on the road, as they often roam freely in the mountain areas.

• If you're a photography lover, sunrise and sunset offer some of the most spectacular views along the entire route.
