Transfagarasan is definitely a must-see for any tourists crossing
the Romanian border. This exquisite mountain road measures
93 miles, and it required 4 years to build between 1970 and
1974 during the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu. Over 20 tons of
dynamite was used to dislocate 3 million tons of rock during the
construction process. As with almost any major architectural
undertaking, it is said that many workers actually lost their
lives while building the road.
