Last year When I had chance (mostly accidentally) drive on Transfăgărăşan highway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfagarasan). So I just got idea why not to make trip only about fun roads we have in Alps. So I got the list of the most interesting mountain-passes in Alps and tried to plan trim between them... Result is below
 . Like dozen of high mountain-passes above 2000 m.s.l. in 10 days.

Man... I got moist looking at these pics. I've ALWAYS wanted to travel just so I can visit that glorious road.
Hell, I'd love to ship my car over there just to go on this road... The roads near my house may have more turns, and might be more technically difficult, but it seems the fun roads in Europe are more high-speed oriented. Most of the roads around here, if you go any faster than 50-60 mph, it gets a bit scary. I'd love to fly down a road like that. Makes me wish I was rich...  - Tum This post has been edited by Tuminatuh: Aug 6, 2010 - 12:33 PM --------------------  |

May be a stupid question, but where is this? haha It's all from Alps (so Europe ). Austria, Italy and Switzerland. The most stunning part was Italian-Swiss border - Stelvio pass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stelvio_Pass). But the most funny definitely was Großglockner Hochalpenstraße (http://www.grossglockner.at/). Less cars, more places to stop and make some pictures. The longest definitely is Strada statale 48 delle Dolomiti (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strada_statal..._delle_Dolomiti). And some more pictures here:           now some "funny" pictures... the same place and just 48hrs period between pics. That tricky are high Alpine roads
