Description

Set out from Brasov for an unforgettable day exploring Romania’s legendary Transfagarasan Highway, celebrated as one of Europe’s most scenic mountain roads. Your professional guide will pick you up directly from your hotel, ensuring a seamless start to your adventure.

Your journey begins with a visit to Carta Monastery, an impressive late Gothic structure built by Cistercian monks from Burgundy, France. Discover its fascinating history and tranquil atmosphere before continuing your ascent into the Fagaras Mountains.
