Day 2: Transalpina & Cindrel Natural Park
Today we drive the Transalpina. A famous road through the Parang Mountains (Romanian Carpathians) with a multitude of winding roads. The road is 148 kilometers long and reaches a height of 2145 meters (the highest road in Romania). This not only offers breathtaking views but also unique driving experiences. Halfway through, we make a stop for lunch. Afterward, we drive through a beautiful natural area; Cindrel National Park to the hotel to enjoy an oasis of tranquility in a natural environment.
Day 3: Astra National Museum Complex & Cozia National Park
Today we visit the Astra National Museum (The largest open-air museum in Europe) located in the "Dumbrava Sibiului" nature reserve. A glimpse into the culture and life of Romania.

Day 4: Transfăgărășan – Balea Lake – Bran Castle
After a hearty breakfast, we prepare for the spectacular Transfăgărășan Route. A 90-kilometer road through the Fagaras Mountains, part of the Transylvanian Alps. The road has been voted the most beautiful road in the world by the makers of Top Gear. The hairpin bends and steep cliffs make the view along the route truly amazing. An absolute must-do for the true road trip enthusiast. After the lunch stop, we drive towards Bran where we visit Bran Castle. A high-set fairy-tale castle on a rock. This castle is known as Dracula's castle.

Please note, read this CAREFULLY. This edition is for adventurous participants. To participate, you must be a go-with-the-flow person, because we are driving in Romania. Things here are different than what we are used to in the West. After registration, you will be called by the organization (if we don't know you well) to screen whether you are suitable for this edition.
We drive approximately 300 km daily, divided into 2 or 3 parts. Keep in mind that each stage takes an average of 2 hours. Of course, we have scheduled breaks and lunches to make the ride smooth and relaxed.
The famous mountain passes are certainly suitable for your car. However, we may sometimes encounter roads that are less accessible. This is because we are driving in Romania, where the roads are often worse than we are used to in Western Europe. Please keep this in mind.
The starting point is in Romania. So you are responsible for how you get to Romania.
We ensure that you can park at the hotel. However, we are not responsible for theft or loss of your car. It is advisable to have an SCM5 or SCM4 security system in your car.

We guarantee careful planning for each road trip, but sometimes things don't always go as expected. This can be due to unexpected circumstances such as festivals, road closures, events, the weather, and things we haven't experienced yet :). A road trip is not a simple task to organize; it's mainly about improvising in unexpected situations. That's why we ask you to have a go-with-the-flow mentality. If a road is closed, it shouldn't be a problem for you to drive an hour out of your way. And if it takes a bit longer to serve lunch, you don't see that as a problem either. We are dependent on external factors and have no influence on this.
