Vişeul de Sus is located in Northern Romania. Primarily used for the lumber industry, a train ride offers a trip into the Vaser River Valley for tourists. Pulled by an old fashion Steam Engine the ride is about 1.5 hours before a stop for lunch and time to relax. It's a beautiful spot.

Located in Caraș-Severin County, the Bigar Cascade Falls is well know for it's beauty.

Transfăgărășan is a road that starts near the village of Bascov and climbs to it's highest point of over 6500ft (2000m). Making it the second highest pass in Romania.
