The Transalpina 1

One more from August

I had absolutely no idea when I was driving on this internationally famous road, that it was the world famous Transalpina - I had noticed a couple of hydroelectric dams on the map, which I decided to go and have a look at, and was rewarded with a fascinating surprises. Rewarded with beautiful mountain scenery, and a very interesting driving experience indeed .The transalpina runs South from Sebes across the Carpathian Mountains, and for 370 km or so that I drove on it, was mostly tarmaced. plans are in place to surface the whole road, which has been around for over 100 years , roughly in its present form, but to cross the middle of the mountains currently, the road gets pretty rough and you would need to go in a truck. all in all, a great day out.
