According to folklore, the road has been in use since Roman times. A local legend says that the road was built by local people who contributed to the construction to the best of their abilities. More credible sources place the construction of the&nbsp;<strong>Transalpina Road<\/strong>&nbsp;in the time of King Carol II who ruled between 1930 and 1940. The road is believed to have been used as a strategic military corridor during World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>beautiful mountain road<\/strong>&nbsp;starts from Jina, the&nbsp;<strong>Jina<\/strong>, a commune in Sibiu County, Transylvania. The Jina-Susag area is known for its picturesque landscape and it is also a connection road between Marginimea Sibiului and Valea Sebesului, two touristic areas. The road ends in&nbsp;<strong>Novaci<\/strong>, Gorj County, Oltenia. Tourists can start their journey from the&nbsp;south,&nbsp;this time beginning in Novaci and ending their trip in Poiana Sibiului or at the end of the road, in Saliste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to visit this beautiful road is during summer&nbsp;when all of its sections are open. Due to safety reasons the&nbsp;<strong>Transalpina<\/strong>, just like its brother-road the Transfaragarsan have several areas closed during the cold winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"accommodation-and-visiting\"><\/span><strong>Accommodation and visiting&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Transalpina<\/strong>&nbsp;owns its beauty and its name: the road crosses six different mountains: Cindrel, Sureanu, Lotru, Parang, Latortitei and Capatanii. Many say that the road reveals its true beauty in the segment between Obarsia Lotrului and&nbsp;<strong>Ranca<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;mountain resort<\/strong>. This ski and mountain resort is also the highest in the country and an excellent stop along the way. Many accommodation facilities are available here, with prices at about 20 euros per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tourists who&nbsp;<strong>visit the Transalpina<\/strong>&nbsp;will revel in the beauty of nature and the rural, picturesque scenery of Oltenia and Transylvania.
