I was just there (Goggle Earth) last week. Have friends in Romania and know how important terrain was in the history of Romania. Never realized how close to Brasov (friends there) the highway is. Bran Castle is even closer. I thought the road was closer to Cluj (friends there). It's pretty far from Bucharest (friends there), but certainly within driving distance.
The road has an interesting history. Built for defense to keep those pesky Russians out, it has a very high price tag in both material and human lives adding to a dark history. It's recognized around the world as 'must drive' on bucket list.
The valley road winds through, and many other similar valley's, also have a dark history. Romanians defending against Turkish invaders used the steep sided valley's as a trap. Turks entered and followed easiest path (bottom of valley). Romanians perched high above hidden behind trees, they rained death down on the enemy below; arrows, boulders, and spears. During Vlad's (the impaler) reign, he and his armies slaughtered tens of thousands of Turkish invaders. Many of those taken alive were speared and left high up on poles along roadways to 'discourage' other invaders.
There is a cool tunnel at the top. Terrain is too steep there to continue building a road. Nice rest area, lake, and shops, great place to rest before continuing your journey.
Thanks for post. I love everything Romanian and hope to visit someday soon.
Being opened only a few months a year, i try to visit as many time as possible and everytime it looks different (snow, variety of plants and forest fruits). After a relaxing drive, when i get to the top (i would recommend durring the week or early morning to avoid trafic) i like to hike the surrounding mountains, a few of my favorite: Lake Capra, Moldoveanu Peak (the highest in Romania 2,544 m (8,346 ft)), Negoiu Peak. I would also recommend to visit in the winter time but you can only get there by cable car. Thank you so much for your comment. Hope you will visit soon.🤗
@@green.weekends Thank you so much for post. I have always wanted to drive it. What an incredible driving experience. Where I live, we have high mountain passes. But the roads are like freeways. Thanks for the tips, will try and do it when not so busy.
Beautiful video! Professional level. On what date were you in Romania?
We went through Transfagarasan in September 2014 ...
Thank you so much. I took a short weekend trip on the 25 of june 2022.

Is your go pro on the hood of the car?
It's mounted on the windscreen.
@green.weekends nice it's on the inside of the car isn't it? Just looks like it's on the outside because the screen is so clean
@@octavianpopa3339 It’s on the outside. I used an Insta360 action cam that has a special adhesive mount for glass surfaces.
