This is a very short connector road that, given its 20 kilometers, would not even be worth covering, except as an example of the many similar roads around Brasov. The road starts in Rasnov, a town best-known for its spectacular 13th century Rasnov Peasant Fortress. From there, it begins a fantastic climb into the Bucegi Mountains, on a newly paved surface. The road traverses creeks and ridges, it twists through quite a collection of 180-degree turns and very tight curves, and allows you to smell the fresh scent of fir, no matter the time of year.

The short road ends in E60, in the alpine resort of Predeal. From here, you gain access to the picturesque Prahova Valley and the nearby string of resorts—Azuga, Busteni, Sinaia. The whole area is filled with incredible riding roads. Of course, given its popularity, it is also congested to the limit, especially on weekends.
