About this place

The DN7C crosses the Făgăraș mountains here between Moldoveanu and Negoiu, the country's highest peaks, linking Wallachia with Transylvania; it is Romania's second-highest paved road after the Transalpina. The high mountain section, about 91 km from the Vidraru dam to Cârțișoara on the DN1, was built from 1970 to 1974 as a strategic military road. The road is closed from November to May.
