I went on Transalpina in midsummer... but as I went up on the mountain, the temperature dropped from 26 degrees Celsius at the bottom of mountain to a drizzling 9,5 degrees Celsius at 2100 meters above sea level!!! A fantastic road, wild, not so much known, but definitely something to remember and go back to! No surprise it was named "The road of the King" Come to Romania and drive on a way to sky!!

You have to come and see it, the pictures show half of what you can see there.The only bad thing is that the road is completed 98% so a little bit of time loss but still a place that needs to be visited

Ranca - Gorj, Romania - is an inspired choice both in winter and summer, especially for tourists who want to escape the crowded city for a few days and spend moments of relaxation.Come and enjoy the fresh air, the caves and monasteries tours, skiing and beautiful landscapes!I guarantee you'll like

I drove this route on September 6. I planned this quite a while back now as I live in Canada and timing is crucial. Not easy to get all the way up there.All my efforts were paid off though. This is an amazing route. I traveled the world but this is one of the nicest places I've visited.I spend the night in Ranca, in one of the new hotels, Cabana Haiducilor. The rate was ridiculously low and the food was great. Lot of action that evening as happened that Romania was playing some qualifying soccer game. Interesting experience! I would write a review on that hotel as well, but there is no thread opened yet. Next morning I had an early head start and continued the trip through Transalpina to Sibiu through Jina, Poiana Sibiului and Saliste. Rewarding trip! I will do that again in the future, no doubts about it! Just a word of advice. Make sure you have a full tank of gas, there are no gas stations along. And no other places to eat or drink other than between the new village under heavy development right now called Ranca and the main road DN1 !

If Transfăgărășan "is the best road...in the world", as Jeremy Clarkson, the Top Gear host, said two years ago, than Transalpina Road is the second best, but very very close! If you're lucky enough, and drive through at twilight, it's a real sensation, it's really Awesome! The road links Poiana Sibiului (in North) with Novaci (in the South), the best view is just north of Rânca. If you're looking for awesome breathtaking panoramas, that's the road to go! The experience is unmissable and unforgettable!
