Transalpina

Transalpina, officially DN67C, is a Romanian mountain road that traverses the Southern Carpathians, linking Sebeș in Alba County with Novaci in Gorj County. The route climbs through the Parâng Mountains, crossing the Urdele Pass and reaching elevations around 2,100 to 2,145 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest roads in the country. The landscape features alpine meadows, coniferous forests, and numerous switchbacks, offering expansive views of surrounding peaks and valleys.

Historically, the route has served as a north–south axis in the region and is sometimes referred to as Drumul Regelui (the King's Road) for its association with Romanian royalty in the early 20th century. In modern times it is valued as a scenic alternative to longer valley routes, attracting motorists, motorcyclists, and hikers. The road is not fully developed for heavy traffic and can be narrow, with exposed sections and limited guardrails in places.

Access is seasonal: snow and avalanche risk commonly close the road in winter, and sections may be affected by landslides or maintenance work at other times. Before travel, it is advisable to check current conditions. The Transalpina is often compared with the nearby Transfăgărășan as a high-altitude Romanian route, though it tends to be less frequented and more exposed to weather.
