The Transfagarasan is a scenic mountain road in Romania that stretches for about 90 miles between the cities of Campulung and Curtea de Arges.

However, its stunning views and breathtaking scenery soon made it a popular tourist destination.

The Transfagarasan is considered to be one of the most beautiful and challenging roads in the world, and it attracts thousands of tourists every year who come to drive or cycle its length, or simply enjoy the views from one of its many viewpoints. In addition, the road is also popular among adventurers and thrill-seekers, who come to test their skills and take on the challenging mountain terrain.
