Transfagarashan road

The length of the highway Transfagarasan - 261 kilometers, but the most beautiful and exciting part of the road is near Balea lake or 80 kilometers from the Vidraru Lake. If you go by car from the south it is necessary to take care of a full tank of gasoline, as the nearest gas station is in the town of Curtea de Arges, or at the exit of Sibiu if you go to the north.

At the highest point of the Transylvania mountain is Balea lake. There are camp site, hotel, parking, cafes and grocery fair for tourists, where you can buy cheese, bacon, fur sheepskin and various local delicacies.

When you plan a trip it should take into account the daytime and weather. Fog or low cloud can occure in the evening and early morning. You can assess visibility in foggy weather by photo of Transfagareshan fog , which was made ??at the exit of the Capra tunnel.

Transfagaresh is open just only two months of the year - July and August. The rest of year this road is covered with snow, and since it is only for tourist purposes, it is cleared only the beginning of summer.
