Description

Join the Transfagarasan small-group tour from Bucharest for an unforgettable adventure through Romania's beautiful landscapes and historic sites. Effortlessly enjoy the stunning Transfagarasan mountain road without needing your own vehicle!

Start your journey with a visit to Poienari Castle, the historic home of Prince Vlad the Impaler. Learn about tales of courage and betrayal within its ancient stone walls. Then, marvel at Vidraru Dam, a towering structure harnessing the power of the Arges River. This dam creates a vast reservoir amidst scenic surroundings.

Continue your adventure on the brilliant Transfagarasan Highway, winding through the Carpathian Mountains. Enjoy panoramic views of rugged peaks and lush valleys. Take a moment to admire the majestic Capra Waterfall before reaching the tranquil shores of Balea Lake. Here, take in the serenity of this alpine retreat nestled in the Fagaras Mountains.

You never know what surprises await you on your trip, so keep your camera ready. If luck is on your side, you may catch a glimpse of wild brown bears or other fascinating wildlife roaming freely in their natural habitat.
