Urdele Pass (Transalpina)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Toughest climb in Romania. One of the best road cycling experiences you can have in Romania, along with Transfagarasan, and TransBucegi.

It's a must for cycling enthusiasts!

Tip by

Regardless of whether you come from Sebeș or from Novaci, you already have a few meters of altitude in your legs when you arrive here. It is definitely worth taking a break here and taking in this incredible view. By the way, there are a few snack bars where you can still eat solid food. However, these were no longer open at the beginning of October.

Transalpina Road

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Transalpina, also known as Drum național 67C (Romanian for "National Road 67C", DN67C for short), is a touristically important road in Romania. It crosses the Transylvanian Alps, connects the Gorj County in Little Wallachia (Oltenia) with the Alba County in Transylvania and reaches a height of 2132 m,[2] according to other information 2145 m.[3] Its summit height thus exceeds that of the Transfagarasan High Road (Drum național; DN 7C).

The modern road, also known as Drumul Regal ("King's Road"), was opened in 1939 and expanded for strategic reasons during the Second World War. During the revolutionary period around 1989, the road was neglected. From 2009, it was partially asphalted and in 2010, a section was put back into operation. The asphalting was completed in 2012.[3] Currently (2016) the road is fully accessible with restrictions.

Highlight • Rest Area

If you want to ride the entire Transalpina, then this is the place to gather strength for the following climb. Here you can get something to eat and drink. If you want, you can also camp here.
