It took 20 tons of dynamite to forge the path of the Transfagarasan, and now as it sits between Curtea de Arges and Cartisoara as the most majestic piece of road in the known world.The road was built between 1970 and 1974, with the army's logistical support, the aim being to connect the historical provinces of Transylvania and Walachia on a previously inaccessible route. The construction has involved great sacrifice, and only Ceausescu's immeasurable ambition made the task possible. The project's cost to the country was high, especially that many lives were lost during its achievement. Under the Nicolae Ceausescu regime, the road was presented as one of the greatest achievements of communism even if the economic value of this mountain road was not justified, and the role was more strategic military.No matter whether you're a petrolhead, photography enthusiast, or nature lover, you will be amazed by the spectacular Transfagarasan road.Balea LakeDescending from the Transfagarasan, you will reach the northernmost point of the tour, Balea Lake.
