It is ”the best road in the world” exclaimed Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson after experiencing this mountain road.
We meet at your hotel in Bucharest and start our tour by car, through the scenic Transfagarasan Road. In fact, Transfagarasan was the fruit of the twisted mind of Romania's last Communist dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu. In 1968, he refused to join USSR and other Warsaw Pact states in invading Czechoslovakia. Fearing reprisals from his Soviet comrades, Ceausescu planned a new, fast access of the military from Bucharest to Transylvania, therefore nowadays we discover and enjoy this costly 90 km (56 miles) road over the highest Romanian mountains (2,544 m at Moldoveanu Peak).
