Hi Felby and congratulations for your choice

 

Here are two nice places for you to visit:

- Orastie Mountains (Sarmisegetuza Regia ruins, Costesti and Blidaru fortifications - 2000 years old) located 25 km from Orastie city... Easy offroad but great views and very nice hiking tracks. GPS Coordinates: 45.625860, 23.310633

- Transalpina road (situated at the highest altitude in Romania)... but pay attention because here is a tricky part: since the road has absolutely no safety elemens - guard fences (at list it hasn't last year when I was on it) some authorities say the road is closed, others (local authorities) said the road is open but on driver's own risk... The road itself and, especially the view from the upper point worth milions of photos. GPS Coordinates: 45.395674, 23.632584

 

In general, Apuseni Natural Park and Retezat Natural Park are great destinations for easy offroading, camping and hiking and you can visit them within a week. The roads and views here are unbelievably beautiful.

 

If you are looking for a medium or hard offroad there are here some addicted guys who can hep you

 

Have a nice trip and enjoy your vacation

Transaplina is closed. I wanted to go last week, but that part that is still "under construction" is closed(10-20 km). The company that was supposed to make it went bankrupt and as a construction site, it is illegal to drive on it. You can get a big fine if the police will find you on that part of transalpina. I do not exactly if there is another way to avoid that part of the road. If i find out I will let you know. I really wanna go and see it too.

 

You can also try the Transfagarasan (the best road in the world as the guys from Top Gear said). The GPS coordinates are: 45.4729278, 24.6019292 .

 

If you get near Cluj Napoca or Alba Iulia maybe we can meet and I can show you around:D

 

When do you intend to come for the Romanian Trip:)?

Damn. Road closed is not good.

 

No, i didnt want drive the best road in the world ( i see this episode of topgear). I live at german border, there ar the best motorways in the world:lol:

 

Im coming in 2 weeks an my MT's need workB)

To me this biking route looks ok: http://www.buhnici.net/2013/08/hike-piatra-craiului-southern-carpathians/ (it's not my site).

I thought the Transfagarasan and Transalpina are one and the same road. Nice to hear they are not. On my next European tour I will have to do the Transalpina. Does one need a 4x4 vehicle for that?
