Summer travelers rejoice: Romania's iconic Transfăgărășan mountain route is open once more for vehicular traffic!
Hit the Transfagarasan, Romania's breathtaking mountain road, once more! This scenic wonder will reopen to adventurous travelers on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 7:00 am - ready your engines, folks!
Explore the legendary route that spans between Balea Cascada in Sibiu county and Piscul Negru in Arges county2. Remember, due to its high-altitude location, your journey can only commence between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm1. Be prepared for possible temporary road closures when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
Now, here's a friendly reminder from the authorities: Steer clear of bears sighted along your route. These wild creatures can act unpredictably, posing serious risks to your safety1.
Initiated during the reign of Nicolae Ceaușescu, the mesmerizing road slicing through the Carpathian Mountains has starred in numerous drive tests, photoshoots, films, and commercials featuring high-performance vehicles3. The road's fame skyrocketed in 2009 when Top Gear, the renowned British auto show, dubbed it "the best road in the world" after filming one of its episodes there3. Others lovingly refer to it as "The Road to the Sky."
Stay safe and savor the ride, fellow thrill-seekers!
