The Transfagarasan Road crosses the Carpathian mountains in Romania. Its nothern slope is "The Best Road in the World", according to the guys from "Top Gear". It´s a great journey crossing from the lowlands near Bucarest trough dense forests into the alpine parts and then straight down into Transsylvania (e.g. "Siebenbürgen"). #AboveItAll
