Transfăgărășan
The Transfăgărășan or DN7C is a mountain road crossing the southern section of the Carpathian Mountains, the second-highest paved road in the country after the Transalpina. It starts near Bascov, and stretches 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the crossroad between the DN1 and Sibiu, between the highest peaks in the country, Moldoveanu and Negoiu. The road was built in the early 1970s as a strategic military route and connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia. The Romanian caption on this unused postcard also mentions the Capra waterfall, and a cabana. Grade: 1
