There are two extreme mountain roads in Romania. One of them – Transfogaras starts close to the city of Fogaras and climbs to the level os 2040 m above the sea. This was our target for today! But in the morning it was cloudy and we experienced the rain. At 8.30 we went to the Fogaras fortres converted into interesting museum. When we completed our visit the sun was shining again and we began our drive through the forest and mountain shrubs with many switchbacks. We wer stopping many times for the pictures and to enjoy the landscape.
There is a tunnel at the top of the road – under the pass. And then – spectacular descent. On this stage the main attraction are Carpathian bears waiting on the road for food – we met them on 7 places! There is also high dam on the river and huge artificial lake. Ot was long, but very interesting day! We are spending the night on the city of Craiova…
