Transfagarasan Full Driving 90km Romania l The Greatest Driving Road in the World, Bears 2024 4K

More than 90 kilometres in length, the Transfagarasan Highway is Romania’s most spectacular and best known road, and, thanks to an appearance on BBC Top Gear in 2009, now one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions. Fully open only from June to October, the road’s highest point is at 2042 metres: the tunnel which links the northern and southern sides at Lake Balea (Balea Lac). However, if you're looking for a little more asphalt and engine-powered excitement, perhaps you should check out the Transalpina Highway, which owns the notorious (unofficial) title of Romania's most dangerous road! A Little History The Transfagarasan was built from 1970-1974 on the personal orders of Nicolae Ceausescu, who wanted to create a strategic route across the Fagaras Mountains to ferry troops north should Romania be invaded by the USSR (as Czechoslovakia had been in 1968). 00:00 Intro 00:20 Road DN7C 05:20 Bears on the road #1 08:15 Bear on the road #2 08:40 Bear on the road#3 09:20 Vidraru Dam 13:45 Bears on the road #4 14:00 Road DN7C 42:30 Bears on the road #5 01:03:35 Mănăstirea Sfântul Prooroc Ilie 01:12:41 Start Fereastra Zmeilor 01:14:25 Waterfall on the road 01:19:00 Cascada mică Capra 01:22:00 Transfăgărășan tunel 01:22:36 Transfagarasan 01:24:16 Panorama Transfăgărășan 01:29:35 Vedere Panoramică Transfăgărășan 01:36:05 Poarta Întâlnirii 02:02:00 Cârțișoara
