The Transalpina Road (DN67C), also known as the "King’s Road", is Romania’s highest paved mountain pass, climbing up to 2,145 meters at Urdele Pass. Originally built by the Romans and rebuilt during King Carol II's reign, the road winds through the Parâng Mountains, offering some of the most breathtaking views in the country.

Unlike the Transfagarasan, which is more famous and traveled, the Transalpina feels wilder and more remote—ideal for cyclists looking to escape the crowds and enjoy pure mountain solitude. The road typically opens in mid-June, with summer offering the perfect conditions to experience this stunning route by bike.
