Anyone ridden Romania ( Transfagarasan ) to Montenegro
Planning to do this in July, starting off in Sibiu ( Romania ) , do the Transfagarasan with an overnight stop in Donji Milanovac ( Serbia) then on to Montenegro. Would be interested to hear your stories and recommendations on road conditions, best routes and border crossings. TIA

Very nice. Get the michelin map of romania and take the green routes. Do listen to what grip your tyres are telling you as some of the surfaces are slippier than their west-european equivalents.

Hi, if you ride a trail bike then ride the Transalpina. Brasov is worth a visit.Andy B

Hi!
You can enter Serbia at Drobeta Turnu Severin and go to Donji Milanovac.
From Donji Milanovac, there is a road beside a Danube...very good road to Pozarevac. From Pozarevac, take any road to Kraljevo and south from Kraljevo to Montenegro is one of the best road-Ibarska magistrala...(canyon of river Ibar)

Romania
Hi if you need some advice or a place to stay get in touch. KTMmartin visited us last year. that reminds me never did get the tyre levers back but in uk for a while so should get to see him. also consider the transalpina highway this year is last chance to ride it before it has a new tarmac surface but will still be good. we live in Brasov 1hr from the transfagarasian turn off

Did you get your route all figured out? I am going to be traveling from Greece to Austria at the end of april, and I think the Montenegro driving sounds the nicest.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
