Transfagarasan Road

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Only about 50 years old, the Transfăgărășan Road has become one of the most recognized landmarks in Romania. The 56 mi. (90 km) road between two of the highest peaks in the country was built in the early 1970's, connecting the regions of Transylvania and Wallachia. In this outstanding first person view (FPV) drone video by AirVuz contributor Bibo FPV, you'll get a unique perspective on this famous road, which was named the "best road in the world" in a 2009 episode of the British TV show Top Gear.

More than 150 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).
