Description

Experience an unforgettable private tour from Bucharest along the iconic Transfagarasan Road, often called one of the most spectacular drives in Romania. Traverse the majestic Carpathian Mountains as you ascend to an altitude of over 2,000 meters, soaking in breathtaking alpine vistas at every turn.

Your journey includes a visit to the stunning Bâlea Lake, a pristine glacier lake perched at 2,034 meters above sea level. Here, you'll enjoy the crisp mountain air, marvel at panoramic views of Transylvania, and savor a delicious lunch in an unforgettable setting.

As you make your way back, the adventure continues with a stop at the roaring Bâlea Waterfall, where you can capture the beauty of cascading waters. Next, you'll visit the impressive Vidraru Dam, a perfect spot to pause and take in the surrounding scenery.

Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in the possibility of spotting brown bears in their natural habitat along the route. To enrich your experience further, the tour includes a view of the historic Poienari Fortress, dramatically perched on a mountaintop and famously linked to Vlad the Impaler.

This private tour covers transportation, a knowledgeable guide, and plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and photographs. Lunch, personal expenses, and entrance fees are not included. Secure your spot now and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey across Romania's most legendary mountain road!
