Private Transfagarasan Road and Poenari Fortress Full Day Tour

Meandering through spectacular landscapes, virgin forests, and mountain ridges, this route offers a unique foray into the Carpathian Mountains. Animals from the local fauna, including bears, can often be seen from the car, offering unique photos. Being fully open only during the summer, you now have the opportunity to take advantage of a unique trip to admire man's foray into nature, in perfect communion. Famous Transfagarasan road, also known as National Road 7C, is going across Fagaras Mountains. It has around 150km, starting next to Bascov village and ending next to Cartisoara village, and it's connecting 2 major regions of Romania, Muntenia and Transylvania. It was built between 1970 and 1974, during the communist regime, with the strategic purpose, to facilitate the movement of troops during a possible war. During the winter this road is closed for the most part of it, because of snow, strong winds and rock slides. We can stop and visit Poenari fortress, Vidraru Dam and Balea Glacial Lake also.

We meet in the morning at your accommodation place. I'm flexible regarding departure time, but not too late because we prefer to spend more time in the mountains. - First stop is at Poenari fortress (if you chose, we can climb 1482 steps) or we can just admire it from bottom of the mountain. - Second stop is at Vidraru Dam (photos) - Third stop is at Balea Glacial Lake - Fourth stop is in Brasov Old Town area, for a short coffee break. In the evening we'll be back in Bucharest. If you have any special requests feel free to contact me anytime and I can customize the tour.
