Early Winter Storm "Barbara" Closes Transfăgărășan in Argeș County
Transfăgărășan, Romania – October 8, 2025 – The Transfăgărășan mountain road in Argeș County, a popular tourist attraction known for its breathtaking views, has been engulfed by an unexpected and severe early winter storm, locally dubbed "violent Barbara." Footage circulating online, uploaded by user GUVERNATORUL, depicts a snowplow battling heavy snowfall and strong winds to clear the winding alpine route. The video, timestamped October 8, 2025, shows the road completely covered in a thick layer of snow, with visibility significantly reduced. Maintenance crews are reportedly working tirelessly to keep the critical sections of the road accessible, although conditions remain extremely challenging. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution and consider alternative routes, as the early onset of winter weather has made passage treacherous. "The snow is coming down relentlessly, and the wind is making it even harder to see," commented a local observer familiar with the area. The images highlight the dramatic shift in weather, transforming the scenic highway into a formidable winter landscape, far earlier than typically expected for the region. Authorities have not yet issued official closures, but the severity of the conditions suggests that travel should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
