 A very nice movie produced by Top Gear.
The road is in Romania and his name is Transfagarasan. The road have 91 km.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwRTElD35-o
Transfagarasan was built between 1970 and 1974. A brief presentation with numbers might be difficult to follow, but for those who have the patience to read it is worth saying that about 3 million tones of hard rocks were dislocated, 830 transverse works and 290 000 cubic meters of masonry were made for building those 92 kilometers of road. For building the Capra – Balea Tunnel there were excavated over 41 000 cubic meters of rocks. There were also used 20 tones of dynamite, 3 573 tones of cement, 89 tones of concrete steel, 24 000 of anchors, 129 tones of brazed nets, 14 200 square meters of encasements, 1750 meters of concrete tubes, 4 100 meters of pipes, 50 tones of metal composites, 6 900 cubic meters of grit, 6000 cubic meters of gravel, 3 000 tones of crushed rocks and 740 lighting lamps.
A story that has been spreading from mouth to mouth refers to a monk named Nectarie. After the construction of the Transfagarasan road, he climbed it by his car, a Trabant, up to Capra, where he was caught by an avalanche. He left the car at Capra, and he threw himself on the snow, being carried by the “wave”. It is said that he remained alive, while his car was found after 6 months, when the snow melt away.
I hope you like it.
PS: Sorry because as in english.

Thank you Cristian for the information, seems an amazingly road, I was not able to see the video because currently I am in Turkey (and youtube is blocked here!!!) but I checked on wikipedia and the road photos are dramatic
Think that many of banditos, that are lovers of extreme roads, would like to ride such a road, maybe someone would plan a trip to Romania.
Ciao

fabiarros,
Posso scrivere in italiano, ma il testo era troppo lungo, e il mio italiano non è molto buona.
Scusa | |
