Riding the Transfagarasan Road in Romania is just as–if not more–awesome than experiencing the famous Stelvio Pass.

Romania is Europe's best kept motorcycling secret.It has incredible nature,stunning Carpathian mountain views,one of the craziest off-road eventsin the continent,and some seriously insane mountain roads.And if that wasn't enough,Romania is still very cheap compared to the rest of the European prices.So what are you waiting for?

History of the Transfagarasan Road

The Transfagarasan Road,one of the most impressive routes in Romania,crosses the Southern Carpathians,climbing up to 6.6oo feet.Built as a strategic military road in the 70's,the Transfagarasan road stretches for 56 glorious miles over some of the highest peaks in Romania.Sometimes called Ceausescu's Folly,this road has been carved into the living rock sparing no expenses,including those of human lives.

A Solitary 新利18苹果Adventure

Together with the Transalpina,the Transfagarasan road might be slowly becoming an iconic 新利18苹果adventure motorcycle destination in Europe.As more and more people venture into the Eastern and Southern Europe,Romania is becoming a popular place to visit.

But,still fairly remote,the Transfagarasan isn't crowded by 新利18苹果adventure riders and other motorists as much as the Stelvio Pass or theTrollstigen(Norway) are.If you time it right,you can have it all to yourself!
