After the recent snow fall in the Carpathians, the Transfagarasan National Road has been closed. It will reopen on Jun 30, 2008.

Officially it’s winter!
It started snowing in the mountains and tourists have been sent back from Balea Lake because they would have risked being caught in the mountains. Other tourists are still caught in mountain resorts in the Carpathians!
ANM -Meteorology Association from Romania - announced very cold weather and snow for Oct 22 -24, in the mountains. Three parts of the country were announced to take winter measures!

The good part? It will be possible to start skiing at the beginning of Nov!
