Transalpina, Mountain road through Parâng Mountains, Romania
Transalpina extends 148 kilometers across four Romanian counties, reaching its highest point at Urdele Pass at 2,145 meters above sea level.
The road construction began as a strategic military path during Roman times, later rebuilt in World War I and modernized under King Carol II in 1939.
Local families contributed to building sections of the route according to their means, transforming an ancient shepherds' path known as Devil's Path.
The road remains open from May to November, requiring a minimum of three hours to traverse its length with speed and weight restrictions.
This national road connects Novaci in the south to Sebeș in the north, crossing through varied landscapes of the Southern Carpathian Mountains.
