Highlights
  • Transfăgărășan - Hello,

Summer time (period of time ~15 June - ~15 November) : Until ~15 June the Transfagarasan road is closed by car. After ~15 June we can visit together this amazing place by car.

Transfagarasan Highway - rated by Top Gear as the most spectacular road in the world, the Transfagarasan impresses with its extraordinary scenery, the number of serpentines and the height at which it was built, the Fagaras mountains being the highest in Romania; thus, the Transfagarasan reaches altitudes up to 2042 meters at Lake Balea where it starts its descent to Cartisoara village; here, on a 30 km stretch we can enjoy the sight of the road in all its splendor.

Lake Balea - a glacier lake formed in a cirque (a depression surrounded by high mountains) at an altitude of 2040 metres; it lies on an area of 4,6 hectares (the length of the lake is 360 metres) and its depth is of approximately 11 metres.

Enjoy with us this amazing place!

Additional Information

Exploring the Transfagarasan road with its breathtaking landscapes is truly an adventure, particularly for those thrill-seekers wanting to climb peaks previously only inhabited by chamois and golden eagles.

Transfagarasan Highway - Declared by Top Gear as the most stunning road globally, the Transfagarasan stands out with its incredible environment, serpentine abundance, and the elevation it reaches. Fagaras mountains are the tallest in Romania; therefore, the Transfagarasan goes up to altitudes as high as 2042 meters at Lake Balea from where it starts its decline to Cartisoara village; within this 30 km stretch, we can appreciate the beauty of the road in all its magnificence.

Lake Balea - a glacial lake nestled in a cirque (a valley encircled by towering mountains) at an altitude of 2040 metres; it spans over an area of 4.6 hectares (with a length of the lake being 360 metres) and reaches a depth of roughly 11 metres.

Tour guide Alim was fabulous…..as was the road! - We had a wonderful two days with Alim. Very reassuring that even in the middle of November that our trip would be 100% safe - It was! We struck lucky as the day was the last before the road closes until summertime 2024. His car has snow tyres and we needed them. Great adventure, stopping for all the “money-shot’ opportunities along the way too. Carefully made our way up the north side - The road is a must - wish I’d had my car to open the pipes along the straights…. Up at the top we had a lovely romanian soup in a cafe Amin clearly knows. Safely back down and back to Braşov 100% must do whilst in Romania - Recommend you track down Alim and enjoy his informative, safe and laid back approach too.
