Rent a SUV and explore the Carpathian Mountains
Is there anything better for a driver than driving an SUV? Yes - driving an SUV in a great mountainside, with different types of terrain around you.
That is what the Carpathians are offering you - a diverse relief, great scenery and an awesome overall experience.
Let’s see in today’s article how you can make the most out of your experience!
1. Impressive mountain peaks you can explore
Traveling the Carpathian mountains is great, especially when you have time to visit more mountain peaks in a span of a few days. You can choose an important area - like the Bucegi Mountains - and try to achieve as many mountain peaks as possible in the time span you have available.
2. Trekk through Romania’s forests
Romania’s mountainside is renowned for the stunning forests. When you’re trying to reach a mountain, most of the way will be through a forest marked accordingly - so you’ll get to inhale your dose of fresh air while trekking through the Romanian forest.
Drive your rented SUV up until the base of the forest and start walking from there - but make sure you don’t get lost by following the appropriate signage.
3. Enjoy Dracula’s Castle
Bran Castle is one of the greatest castles in the Eastern European region. Spanning from 1211 as a simple fortress founded by Teutonic knights, this castle became renowned worldwide because of its direct link with Vlad the Impaler - the historical figure on which Dracula’s story was founded.
Drive your SUV through the Brasov region and make sure you spend some days there - there isn’t just this castle worth visiting, trust us!
4. Relish in Transalpina and Transfagarasan’s beauty
If you haven’t seen the Top Gear episode of Transfagarasan, we’ll just spoil it for you - one of the presenters talks about Transfagarasan as: the greatest road that exists. That’s big coming from someone that probably drove on most of the important roads in the world.
Transalpina is another great mountain road that will test your SUV to its limits by having some up-and-down scenarios that resemble the old carousel.
5. Be careful on some roads
Romania is known for some beautiful roads like the ones already discussed about, but it is also widely known that the infrastructure isn’t quite the best. Some roads are in a really bad shape and you should avoid them.
Thankfully, your SUV won’t cause you any troubles no matter the roads you’re going to, as VIA chooses the best cars on the market for you and your needs. Don’t you worry about it!
If you’re planning to visit Romania by car and need to rent one from Bucharest, contact VIA representatives and they’ll help you in no time!
