The road between Telega and Cosmina de Jos, which passes through the village of Buștenari, is quite spectacular due to the configuration which is similar with a roller coaster. There are 12 Km where you will have all types of curves. There are tight curves, wide curves, some hair pins and many areas with steep slopes and sudden slope changes. 

It’s a road that can be a lot of fun. Also quite demanding if you want to travel more sporty. However, you will need to go more carefully for several reasons. First of all, there are many places with very low visibility due to the road configuration. Then you have to be careful about pedestrians, carts and animals. This is because about half the length of this segment is through the village. Another problem may be the sand on the asphalt especially in the first months of spring.

The proposed route follows the communal road DC133 between the villages Telega and Buștenari. Then to Cosmina de Jos we will go on DC11. In the first part, starting from the center of the village Telega, we will climb relatively constantly from 330m to an altitude of about 640m in 5km. Then the road remains for a few kilometers around the altitude of 600m. Then we descend back to 350m in the center of the village of Cosmina de Jos.

If you want to stop and admire the scenery, a good place to park is the exit from the village of  Buștenari. From here it opens a beautiful view to the hills in the area and you can see the next 5-6 kilometers of the road.
