One of Romania’s most famous mountain roads, the Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an, reopened to traffic on Friday, June 12, following its seasonal winter closure. Authorities said drivers can once again travel on the high-altitude route between B\u00e2lea Cascad\u0103 in Sibiu County and Piscul Negru in Arge\u0219 County.<\/p>\n
The National Road Infrastructure Administration Company (CNAIR) announced that traffic resumed on DN7C Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an at noon on Friday. The road will be open daily between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., according to the road authority.<\/p>\n
Drivers have been advised to exercise caution and adjust their speed to weather and traffic conditions, as sudden changes in weather can occur at high altitudes and may affect visibility.<\/p>\n\n
Also, CNAIR warned drivers about the frequent presence of bears near the roadway.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not approach the animals, do not feed them, and immediately notify the authorities if you observe dangerous situations,” the agency said.<\/p>\n
It reminded visitors that feeding bears is prohibited by law and can result in fines ranging from RON 10,000 to RON 30,000 (EUR 2,000-6,000).<\/p>\n
\u201cFeeding bears is not only an offense punishable by law, but also an action that can condemn them. A bear accustomed to receiving food from humans loses its natural fear and can become aggressive, while authorities may ultimately be forced to relocate or even euthanize the animal,” CNAIR said.<\/p>\n
