Travel by car: the most scenic tracks in the world
If you enjoy the mesmerizing landscapes, driving becomes much more enjoyable, even over long distances. Below is a list of the most beautiful tracks in the world that will impress even experienced motorists.
Transegerash highway. It is located in Romania and runs through the Fagaras mountain range. The highest point that can be overcome along this route is 2000 meters. Initially it was built for military purposes, but now the lakes and snow-capped mountains delight tourists.
Strada Amalfitana. The trail along the Amalfi Coast is designed for those who are attracted by the seascapes. It is located by the Tyrrhenian Sea in Italy. At the same time, around every turn you can see not only the sea, but also sheer cliffs flying towards the water. Since there are many narrows and sharp turns, the road will appeal to fans of extreme sports.
Großglockner High Alpine Road. This route passes through the Austrian Alps and connects two locations: Salzburg and Carinthia. It was built in the Hohe Tauern National Park. Due to the difference in elevation, you can see both snow and green grass here at any time of the year. The highway is considered to be so good that the Grossglockner Races are held here.
Route 66 in the USA. "America's main street" is the name of this road that connects Chicago and Los Angeles. It runs across almost the entire country. She can often be seen in films and in paintings, heard in songs and read in books. In terms of infrastructure, there is everything along the highway: motels, gas stations, cafes and, of course, views. The length of the route is 3495 km.
Route P-474 in Russia. The highway on the Kamchatka Peninsula, which leads from Ust-Kamchatsk to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, is recognized as one of the most beautiful in Russia. The highlight of the road is the picturesque views of the volcanoes. It is here that you can see the Klyuchevskaya Sopka hanging over the asphalt. The total length of the artery is 714 km. You can drive along it from start to finish in about 8 hours.
Chuisky tract. According to National Geographic, this road is the fifth most beautiful road in the world. The Chuisky tract runs from the Altai Republic to Mongolia. Here travelers will find no less varied landscapes than along Route 66: birch groves, endless taiga and endless steppe.
