The road that slices through the Bicaz Gorges (Cheile Bicazului) is among Romania's most staggering and spectacular. The gorge twists and turns steeply uphill for 5km (3mi), cutting through sheer, 300m (1000ft) limestone rocks on its journey through the mountains.
The road passes directly beneath the overhanging rocks in a section known as the 'neck of hell' (Gatul Iadului). This stretch is protected as part of the Hasmas-Bicaz Gorges National Park.
