Discover Romania – ep. 2
Since the first episode was about the greatest driving road in the world (as car show TopGear said it loud and clear), this second episode is still about a road that we have it here in Romania.
It’s the DN 7c, also known as Transalpina. It is reaching higher peaks than Transfagarasanu road, it’s even more spectacular, but until now was very hard to reach and use, since there was little to no asphalt. We crossed it our first time in a Peugeot 206 and an Opel Corsa, and no one believed us, being well known you need a big 4×4 car to pass it. Below, the Peugeot and brave driver Cristi, very close to the gap, at and approximate altitude of 2152 m (it’s highest point)
Well, those days are long gone, and now you can enjoy a fresh layer of asphalt road, not less than spectacular as before. On this road you’ll also find great camping spaces and even a modern Sky Resort – Ranca. I’ve been there many times since the landscape is fantastic and it changes every time, offering stunning views everywhere.
Enjoy!
