Transfăgărăşan - o vale glaciară în formă de U, aşa cum am învăţat la geografie
The Transfăgărăşan (crossing the Făgăraş mountains) is the highest and most dramatic paved road in Romania. It runs North to South across the tallest sections of the Carpathian Mountains, between the highest peak in the country, Moldoveanu (2544 m), and the second highest, Negoiu (2535 m). The road connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia, and the cities of Sibiu and Piteşti.
The road climbs to 2,034 meters altitude. The most spectacular route is from the North. It is a winding road, dotted with steep hairpin turns, long S-curves, and sharp descents. It is both an attraction and a challenge for hikers, cyclists, drivers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike.
This photo shows a "U" shaped valley formed by a melted glacier.
