Riding a motorcycle on Transalpina, Romania, is an exhilarating experience that combines breathtaking views with thrilling twists and turns. Transalpina, also known as the “King’s Road,” is Romania’s highest mountain road, reaching an elevation of 7,038 feet (2,145 meters) at Urdele Pass. The 87-mile (140-kilometer) ride takes you through the Carpathian Mountains, offering spectacular vistas and challenging curves. As you ascend, you’ll appreciate the road’s strategic history-it was initially built in 1938 under King Carol II’s rule and later reconstructed during World War II.
