Transalpina Glaciar Lake - EXPLORE
The Transalpina or DN67C located in the Parâng Mountains group, in the Southern Carpathians of Romania, is one of the most spectacular roads of the Carpathian Mountains. It connects Novaci, south of Parâng Mountains, to Sebeş in the north.
It is said that the road was built under King Carol II and rebuilt during World War II by German troops and it is called The King's Road by the locals. Also a story has it that Nicolae Ceauşescu had the Transfăgărăşan Road (DN7C) built during the communist regime just to surpass the Transalpina.
The road has its highest point at Urdele Pass, where the elevation is 2,145m above sea level. Given the high altitude, the road is closed during the cold months of the year. Works began in 2007 in order to transform this spectacular road into a modern highway (148 km), allowing a rapid transit between Oltenia and Transylvania.
Rânca, a newly developed resort, is located towards the south end of the Transalpina road.

Wall Paintings
Palatul Vechii Prefecturi, denumit si „Palatul Baroc”, reprezinta unul dintre cele mai valoroase monumente istorice ale Timisoarei .
Odata cu anul 1751, cand in Banat incepe separarea administratiei camerale de cea militara, inginerii militari devin preocupati de gasirea unui spatiu in interiorul Cetatii pentru resedinta casei guvernatorului. In momentul avansarii lucrarilor la Dom si fixarii formei Pietei Principale (astazi Piata Unirii) s-a ales si pozitia locuintei guvernatorului civil.
