    hallo,
    deine Strecke erinnert mich an November 2010.Mit dem Auto kommend über Moreni zur Cabana Bolboci und Pestera.Wunderschön zu fahren.Eine Landschaft wie ein Westeuropaer wie ich kaum vermutet hat.Wunderschön,wild und touristisch so gut wie nicht erschlossen.Asphalt habe ich vergeblich gesucht.Die Rückfahrt war abenteuerlich.Irgendwo gings nach Babele und von da nach Sinaia.Es wurde nur zu schnell dunkel.Die Strecke bin ich ein Tag zuvor OFFROAD mit Jeep gefahren.Aber abenteuerlich.Trotzdem möchte ich diese Tour gerne noch mal machen.Vielen Dank für deinen Beitrag. Ein schönes Land ,viel zu wenig beachtet.
    Fagarasan auch sehr empfehlenswert
    .for me nice to remind me. kind regards winni

    Hallo Astron2701
    1. I can not understand German. Better English or French.
    2. The track I put here does not deal with Moreni village. It is correct that on the final part to Pestera the average speed is 12-15 km/hr but you may see the traffic on the pictures - lots of family car. I was driving a VW Golf Variant.
    3. Many hiking trails indicated on the touristic maps are in fact forestry roads (macadam or stone covered). Only a few are well maintained.
