The spectacular Transalpina pass road (Transalpina – Drumul Regilor ) is one of the highest pass roads in Romania, connecting the regions of Transylvania (Transilavania) and Wallachia (Muntenia), running from south to north across the Southern Carpathians (Munții Parâng). The road is also known as the DN67C national road and connects the towns of Sebes in the north and Bengensti in the south. On about 150 kilometers you will find dreamlike views.

The top of the pass is at an altitude of 2,145 meters (Varful Urdele). At the highest peak, as well as along the entire route, there are viewing points with parking.

Remember in Romania there is a compulsory vignette, the so-called Rovignette you can get online or at gas stations. The official designation of the Transalpina is DN67C. The road is only open for a few months, and due to weather conditions there can be temporary closures at any time. The date when the road becomes passable varies from year to year. Therefore, inform yourself in advance.
However, some sections of the Transalpina are cleared for ski tourism, these include the sections in the north Sebes – Lacul Oasa and in the south Novaci – Ranca.
