Urdele Pass (Transalpina)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Toughest climb in Romania. One of the best road cycling experiences you can have in Romania, along with Transfagarasan, and TransBucegi.

It's a must for cycling enthusiasts!

Regardless of whether you come from Sebeș or from Novaci, you already have a few meters of altitude in your legs when you arrive here. It is definitely worth taking …
