Transfăgărășan ... What a blast! 151km (94 mi) of pure hapiness. 40 soldiers lost their life and 60 tons of dynamite had been used while building this stunning road. It was built from 1970 - 1974 for military use.

Today we started quite early into the day because 410 km had been waiting ahead of us - definitely worth it. First of all we started at 07:30 at Sibiu and went trough some really interesting villages to the Trans Alpina Road. In comparison to yesterday (Transfagarasan) there was no traffic up to the the top. Arrived at the Trans Alpina Saddle we got rewarded with a spectacular view all over the carpatians. When we went down on the other side we even had a little off-road section - we really enjoyed that After we left the mountains behind us we rode straight to our hotel in Timisoara were 44 degrees celsius waited for us ...

Trans Alpina - Es war uns eine Ehre
