Горный перевал в Румынии
The Transfăgărășan (trans + Făgăraș) or DN7C is a paved mountain road crossing the southern section of the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. It has national road ranking and is the second highest paved road in the country after the Transalpina. It starts near the village of Bascov, near Pitești, and stretches to the crossroad between the DN1 and Sibiu, between the highest peaks in the country, Moldoveanu and Negoiu. The road, built in the early 1970s as a strategic military route, connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia. Ceaușescu wanted to ensure quick military access across the mountains in case of a Soviet invasion. At the time, Romania already had several strategic mountain passes through the Southern Carpathians, whether inherited from the pre communist era (the DN1 and the high pass DN67C) or built during the initial years of the Communist regime (the DN66). These passes, however, were mainly through river valleys, and would be easy for the Soviets to block and attack. Ceaușescu therefore ordered the construction of a road across the Făgăraș Mountains, which divide northwestern and southern Romania. and viaducts than any other road in Romania. Near the highest point, at Bâlea Lake, the road passes through Bâlea Tunnel, the longest road tunnel in Romania at
Along the southern section of the road, near the village of Arefu, is Poenari Castle. The castle was the residence of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. The northern section is used for annual cycling competitions, including the Tour of Romania, and the section to Bâlea Lake has been used since 2011 for the Sibiu Cycling Tour. These sections are considered to be similar in difficulty to hors catégorie climbs in the Tour de France.
Трансфэгэрэшан (trans + Făgăraș) или DN7C — это асфальтированная горная дорога, пересекающая южную часть Карпатских гор Румынии. Она имеет статус национальной дороги и является второй по высоте асфальтированной дорогой в стране после Трансальпины. Дорога начинается вблизи деревни Басков, недалеко от Питэшти, и тянется до перекрёстка между DN1 и Сибиу, между высочайшими вершинами страны, Молдовану и Негойу. Построенная в начале 1970-х годов как стратегический военный маршрут, дорога соединяет исторические регионы Трансильванию и Валахию. Чаушеску стремился обеспечить быстрый военный доступ через горы в случае советского вторжения. В то время Румыния уже располагала несколькими стратегическими горными перевалами через Южные Карпаты, унаследованными от довоенной эпохи (DN1 и высокогорный перевал DN67C) или построенными в первые годы коммунистического режима (DN66). Однако эти перевалы проходили преимущественно через речные долины, что делало их уязвимыми для блокировки и атак со стороны советских войск. Поэтому Чаушеску приказал построить дорогу через горы Фэгэрэш, разделяющие северо-западную и южную Румынию. Эта дорога имеет больше туннелей и виадуков, чем любая другая дорога в Румынии. Вблизи самой высокой точки, у озера Бэлеа, дорога проходит через туннель Бэлеа — самый длинный дорожный туннель в Румынии.

Вдоль южной части дороги, недалеко от деревни Арефу, находится замок Поенари. Замок был резиденцией Влада Цепеша, послужившего вдохновением для графа Дракулы Брэма Стокера. Северный участок используется для ежегодных велогонок, включая Тур Румынии, а участок до озера Бэлеа с 2011 года используется для велогонки Sibiu Cycling Tour. Эти участки по сложности сопоставимы с подъемами категории hors catégorie на Тур де Франс.
