Transfăgărăşan
The bends of the Transfăgărăşan are also an attraction and a challenge for drivers and motorcycle enthusiasts. Even though some may be tempted to push the pedal, the recommended speed is 40 km per hour. The road is closed from the end of
October until June, because of the snow.A journey on this road will offer you dramatic views and
breathtakingly beautiful places. Passing by the Balea Glacial Lake (2034 m altitude, through the longest road tunnel in
Romania (884 m) and having the most tunnels and viaducts than any other road in Romania, Transfăgărăşanul is one attraction
that must not be missed.
The road became even more popular when the crew from Top Gear filmed a show on the Trasfăgărăşan, in September
2009. The host of the show, Jeremy Clarkson said that Transfăgărăşan should have the title of the best road in the
world, and that they were mistaken when they gave the Stelvio Pass in Italy this title.
Danube Delta
The Danube Delta is the second largest delta in Europe, after the Volga Delta, and is the best
preserved on the continent.
The Danube branches into three main arms into the delta, Chilia, Sulina, and Sfântu Gheorghe. The first two branches form the
Tulcea arm, which continues as a single body for several kilometers after the separation with Chilia arm. At the mouths of
each arm alluvionary processes take place, as a sign that the delta is continuing its expansion.The Danube Delta falls within
east European steppe ecosystem, with Mediterranean influences. As a young region in full process of consolidation, the Danube
Delta represents a very favourable place for the development of highly diverse flora and fauna, unique in Europe, with numerous
rare species.
