Overview

Come and experience a trip on the most beautiful highway in Europe! Although the highway itself is considered to be the main attraction, there are many more pit stops on the way. For example, at 2034 metres, we arrive at Balea Lake, having previously admired the Balea Waterfall. The place is filled with merchants selling foods, drinks and souvenirs. The landscape is absolutely amazing. It really feels like heaven! Then, if you're curious to discover more and time allows us, there is an optional free of charge trip available to either the watermill in Lisa, a small village, to experience the traditional way of felting. Or, we can take a delightful lunch (meal not included) at the restaurant in Albota. Perhaps you'd prefer a cultural experience, and we can visit the Cistercian Abbey of Carta. It's really up to you to decide. Still wondering if this trip is suitable for you? You can take your whole family, or you can bring your friends. It's up to you!

Right near we can find couple of restaurants and little wooden huts were locals are selling traditional cheese, sausages and souvenirs. We are going to spend here enough time to enjoy the places and the view. A short walk along the lake and the area can be done on request.

Spend the day exploring one of the most famous mountain roads in the world. With spectacular views, the Transfagarasan road takes you above the 2000 m altitude line. Enjoy a break on top of the mountain where a mountain cabin was built at the end of the 1800s for the tired hikers that spent days getting there. The road has an interesting history, being built in the 70s at the orders of the communist leader who wanted to have an extra escape route in case of Soviet invasion.
