The trip was really nice. Very scenic roads. Lake view was ruined by fog.. but saw 6-7 bears on the way and back.
Special thanks to our guide Andrio.

Top trip
It was a fantastic day. Pick up in Bucharest, then off to the mountains. We had a short comfort break to grab some breakfast and coffee then we went along the Top Gear road up to the lake. Unfortunately it was foggy, but the food in the tent was amazing. On the way up and down we saw 6 bears. A photostop and pause at the dam before heading back. 12 hour trip and worth every penny.

Spectacular views and a great day tour
We had a fantastic time of this tour.
We enjoyed wonderful views of Balea Lake and the ‘Top Gear’ road. We were so lucky to see bears on our way up and down including babies!
It is a long journey and the winding rounds may affect you if you suffer from travel sickness- definitely take some medication prior to the tour. Our guide was Pedro who was knowledgeable and helpful. A really great day trip - the views were spectacular. Would highly recommend!

The view at the top of the mountain after the cable car ride is just stunning. However, in the cable car, we ruined our pants due to some engine oil that was on one of the cabin walls, so don't wear you best clothes...

Great trip.
The driver picked me up on time. It was a long drive, but it was a great experience. We saw 6-8 bears and cubs on the way up, and the views were awesome. The driver was very experienced and stopped several times so we could take pictures and have lunch. Great day trip!

When to visit

It takes about 2.5 hours to drive the road, but leave plenty of time to stop and take photos, or in case you get stuck behind flocks of sheep and local herders, who share the road with regular traffic.
A restaurant and chalet accommodations are available at Balea Lake.
It can be chilly in the mountains, even in summer, so bring warm clothing in case you want to get out and take photos.
