More photos from the motorcycle friends of our dear Roland 🥰, who in the last few days (mid-June 2025) took a tour through Romania.

The route went via Timișoara, Deva, the Transfagarasan to Constanța, with many wonderful experiences, memories, and photos. Here is part 2 of 4, right in the middle of Romania’s beautiful Carpathians.

Once again, back to a beautiful photo (Transfagarasan) from the motorcycle friends of our dear Roland 🥰, who in the last few days (mid-June 2025) took a tour through Romania.

Wildly romantic for some, hard work with many hardships for others, in the mountains of Apuseni the two meet. Who is happier ... everyone has to decide for themselves. More does not always mean more ... at least not when it comes to your own satisfaction.

The Apuseni Mountains are a mountain formation in western Romania. It reaches summit heights of almost 1,850 meters (highest peak: Cucurbata Mare at 1,849 meters) and forms the northern section of the western Romanian Carpathians. The mountain range has an almost circular outline with a diameter of 130 to 150 km, is bordered by the rivers Mures, Somes and Barcau and is located in the counties of Arad, Bihor, Cluj, Alba and Hunedoara.

We would like to thank the photographer Gerd Deeken for the permission to use these pictures.

As of today at 7 a.m., the Transfagarasan road (and also the Transalpina from 9 a.m.) is open again. The roads of all roads in Romania 🥰

If you are currently driving these roads, we would love to see lots of up-to-date pictures and info in the comments. Thank you so much!

https://welcome-to-romania.com | https://urlaub-in-rumänien.de

Info for June 2025: Transfagarasan open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Transalpina from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Since both the Transfagarasan and the Transalpina are open from today, you will meet them again especially on these roads... the brown bears.

First of all, the MOST IMPORTANT:
DO NOT FEED BEARS!!
DO NOT ATTRACT BEARS!!
BEARS are wild animals of the forest and not "experience objects", please respect this on your trip and when encountering one or more bears! Enjoy it, but stay in the car and just drive slowly.

In Romania, there are approximately 8,000 to 10,000 wild brown bears and more and more bears are attracted to the roads and towns, because, unfortunately, some drivers / travelers feed the bears and therefore they always return, but especially with their offspring, to the roads.

We understand, it is a special experience... but bears can also be very dangerous, especially a mother bear with her cute babies. Mothers know, with children the fun ends quickly and it can become very dangerous. Therefore, once again... PLEASE SHOW RESPONSIBILITY AND RESPECT for these animals.

By attracting or feeding them, you destroy the natural basis of life of the animals... for a moment of attraction. We therefore ask you to let the bears... be bears... do not feed the bears and please do not stop if you see one or more bears on the side of the road. By this behavior, you attract the bear, because it thinks it will get food. Leaving the vehicle in such a situation to see a bear closer should NEVER happen anyway. Thank you!

Below is a link to further rules of conduct, in case you encounter a bear (e.g. during a mountain hike). Here, the example is Trentino, but it is also valid for Romanian bears > https://www.trentino.com/de/freizeit-aktiv/berge-wandern/nuetzliche-informationen/verhaltensregeln-bei-baerenkontakt/

Transylvania is rich in history and around 160 fortified churches invite interested visitors to take a journey through the past and present of the Transylvanian region.

June 1st, Children's Day, is, as in many other countries around the world, also a public holiday in Romania and today is also a Sunday.

We wish all children, whether small or big 😊, a wonderful, eventful, and happy day... and that we adults never forget that not only today, but actually every day of the year should be a day for our children!

We start at the end, but at the beginning we want to thank the Zitzmann family, who allowed us not only to use the pictures of the trip (end of September 2023), but also to take over the experiences. Thank you

"We drive the Transalpina, but after a few hours we realize that we miss the beautiful part. Google talks about blockage, missing guard rails and that the road was never finished...well, we let it come to that, turn around, drive back (the Transalpina is somehow divided in two) 100erte Schwammerlsucher pull 1000s of kilos of mushrooms from the forest, in large vats that we know from the grape harvest. Incredibly which quantities there are.

We find a great place to sleep, one may drive the road only from 8-18 clock...well we stand anyway, and do not drive. In Romania it is apparently no matter, locals drive around of course also after 18 o'clock, dig for stones, etc.. In the morning then a flock of sheep near us, still spend a lot of time in the wonderful mountain area, to finally arrive in the afternoon at the castle in Hunedoara to visit it."

Thanks to Gerhard Daniela Zitzmann for pictures and text.
