Transfăgărășan 2024: the most beautiful road in Romania will open starting at the end of June 2024!

Transfăgărășan is one of the most beautiful roads in Romania and even in Europe, something confirmed by Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear. Transfagarasan or DN7C is the second highest paved road in Romania after Transalpine, reaching an altitude of 2 meters.

Approximately 8 months of the year, Transfăgărășan is totally or partially closed, which means that only 4 months a year is fully open.

The road is closed for 27 kilometers for 8 months of the year, in winter and spring, due to the danger of avalanches, falling rocks, landslides and other traffic hazards.
