It was time to say goodbye to
Szeged and my hosts Viki and Réka. Thanks a lot for everything. Soon I also left
Hungary and entered
Romania.

| Where will this road lead me? |
 |
| Left, right, straight ahead? |
Some friends on the road
 |
| In the end, the decision was good, the completely new road went up to 2100 meters above sea level |
The
Transalpina or DN67C located in the
Parâng Mountains group, in the
Southern Carpathians of
Romania, is one of the most spectacular roads of the
Carpathian Mountains. It connects
Novaci, south of
Parâng Mountains, to
Sebeş in the north. It was not part of my plan, but it was fantastic.
After a while I was back in the valley and the area was full of monasteries. I visited only two, since I didn't want them to keep me there.
In
Curtea de Argeș I filled my food and water supplies and I started to ascend back into the mountains on the famous
Transfăgărășan road. I had a short stop at
Poenari castle, also known as the Dracula castle. I totally forgot, that I should've adjusted the clock, so the castle was already closed for the visitors. Nevertheless I ignored the signs and the entrance guy and I just went through the forest and then I climbed 1480 steps. The ruins were there.
I continued north and after the sunset I set a tent near the road and
Argeș River.
