Between clouds


The Transfăgărășan is the second-highest paved road in Romania, and considered by some to be the most dramatic. Built as a strategic military route, the 90 km of twists and turns run north to south across the tallest sections of the Southern Carpathians, between the highest peak in the country, Moldoveanu, and the second highest, Negoiu. The road connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia, and the cities of Sibiu and Pitești.*

Pamukkale


Pamukkale ("cotton castle" in Turkish) is a natural site in Turkey containing terraces which are made of travertine, a sedimentary rock deposited by water from the hot springs existing in the region. But this is not the only famous place to visit in this region, the ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of this white castle.
