Climb mountains, raft along stormy streams, wander narrow historical streets or plow the oceans on a yacht - everyone chooses their own way to explore their home planet. However, mountaineering, rafting, yachting - all these types of sports tourism require certain skills and experience. Therefore, if you are not a fan of traveling on your own, a trip by car to picturesque areas will be the ideal compromise for you.

Truly, the Earth is replete with unique, breathtaking and simply unimaginable places that you can drive around in a car with the wind and your favorite music. The main thing is to stock up on fuel, because the journey will be long...

We bring to your attention 10 of the most beautiful, sometimes dangerous, but certainly worthy of your attention highways, a trip along which will turn into an unforgettable adventure. Let's start, as expected, from 10th place.

10. Big Gate Road, China

Great Gate, or Road to Heaven in China, located in Hunan Province. This highway is called Big Gate Road, but it is more commonly called the road of 99 turns, since nine is a lucky number in China symbolizing heaven and 9 palaces.

The highway stretches for 10 kilometers. Its maximum point is at an altitude of 1300 meters above sea level. The road took 8 years to build and was completed in 2006.

If the winding and height of the path scares you, and you are afraid to travel along it by bus or car, there is an alternative. To the very top of the mountain there is a magnificent cable car almost 8 kilometers long, one of the longest cable cars peace.

9. Atlantic Road, Norway








Norway has the Atlantic Road, which consists of several bridges. Its opening took place in 1989. This canvas would be unremarkable if not for the Storseisundet bridge, unique in its architecture. Locals They call it the “drunken bridge” or simply “the road to nowhere.”

The bridge is built in such a way that at a certain angle, when you approach it from the mainland, an illusion is created as if there is no bridge at all - it seems that it is a huge springboard. The section of the bridge located above the strait is raised 23 meters from sea level, and the length of the bridge itself is 260 meters.

The unusual architecture of the bridge is, first of all, caused by the need to ensure the passage of ships under it, and secondly, by the desire of the architect to create a unique object to attract tourists.

8. Blue Ridge Parkway, Northern California, USA








The Blue Ridge Parkway in Northern California is also called “God's Highway North.” This is one of the most beautiful roads in the United States, it runs through the Apalachian Mountains, its length is almost 750 km. If you love winding roads, leisurely driving and want to enjoy the beauty of the nature around you, then this road is for you.

Part of the road passes through the state of North Carolina, where the highest point of the journey is located and one of national parks Smokey Mount. It ends with the “Tail of the Dragon”, a unique road with 386 turns over 17 km.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a delight for any traveler. It connects Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. No guide to the best roads would be complete without mentioning this amazing boulevard.

7. The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road, UAE








Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road - this road stretches from the icy waters of the North Atlantic into the heart of the scorching desert along a mountain 1249 meters above sea level, which offers stunning views throughout the entire route.

The mountain road was built in such a way as to make it possible for cars to drive to the most high mountain in the UAE - Jebel Hafeet. Administratively, the mountain belongs to the city of Al Ain. It has an 11.7 km road that has 60 bends and corners, which, however, does not pose any problem for cars - like most large-scale projects in a country that does not have problems with financing, Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road represents the latest achievement engineering thought. The quality of the road does not cause the slightest criticism, and the perfectly smooth asphalt can shock any foreigner.

6. The Overseas Highway, Florida, USA








Do you love the ocean? In Florida, you can literally drive across the surface of the water - this was made possible thanks to the Overseas Highway, built right above the surface Atlantic Ocean. In 1938 there was held here Railway, then it was destroyed by a hurricane. The highway now connects the islands in southwest Florida. Several bridges cross the road.

The roadway is 113 miles (approximately 180 kilometers) long, one of the longest highways in the world, connecting the islands to the mainland.

For three unforgettable hours you can enjoy the unique views of the ocean from the windows of your car. The view here is especially stunning at sunrise or sunset.

5. Combe Laval, France








The Combe Laval Road offers motorists 13 kilometers of breathtaking alpine scenery at the dizzying heights of the French Alps. It was built back in 1897 to transport timber, and today the road is a major attraction for cyclists who brave the steep climbs.

The most spectacular section of the road stretches between St. Jean-en-Royans and Col de la Machine. Here you crash into a rock almost at the edge of the cliff, and then go through a series of narrow and short tunnels. Almost 13 kilometers of luxurious alpine beauty and dizzying heights.

4. Red Rock Scenic Road, Arizona, USA







It is called the Quiet Road of the Red Rocks. Beginning in Sedona and ending in Oak Creek, Arizona, the highway runs through amazing landscapes: monolithic red rock formations go up and into the distance as far as the eye can see.

Travel through the Red Rock Country along one of the most beautiful roads in America - Red Rock Scenic Road.

3. Canning Stock Route, Australia








The Canning Stock Route in Australia is one of the most deserted roads in the world. The road, stretching for 1850 km, crosses the Small Sandy Desert from north to east and is of great interest to tourists who prefer an exciting safari on hardy off-road vehicles to measured trips.

The construction of the track here began in 1906 for cattle transportation. The road took 4 years to build; the most difficult part was installing wells along its entire length. Today the route, which takes about three weeks to complete, is used only by tourists.

If you're one of those daredevils who can handle the mountains, when setting out on a trip along the Canning Stock Route, make sure to stock up on provisions and fuel, as there are only a few Aboriginal communities available for purchase along the way.

2. Karakoram Highway, Pakistan








The Karakoram Highway is the highest road in the world, and also one of the most dangerous. The highway passes through the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which has been a bone of contention between Pakistan and India since the late 1940s. Most of the route is devoid of road surface (on average 30-40 m of asphalt per 10-20 km of road), in addition, drivers are threatened by avalanches and blockages on the passes.

The 1,300 km long route connects Pakistani Islamabad with Chinese Kashgar. It began to be built back in 1966 along a route repeating a section of the Great Silk Road (in ancient times and the Middle Ages, a caravan road connecting East Asia with the Mediterranean). The laying took 21 years, costs amounted to $3 billion, and of the 25 thousand engineers and workers involved in construction, about 1000 died.

The photo you see just below the title was taken during the second landslide, which occurred near the village of Attabad in northern Pakistan, on January 22, 2010. The first landslide, which occurred on January 4, blocked the flow of the Hunza River.

1. Tuktoyaktuk Road, Canada








In summer, the Tuktoyaktuk ice road, which runs along the bed of a frozen river and connects remote corners Canada with civilization simply does not exist. It mystically appears only after the Mackenzie Delta River and the Arctic Ocean are frozen in ice. At any other time of the year, you can only sail on a boat or soar over the water surface on an airplane...

The sea road extends for 130 km and connects the northwestern Canadian cities of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. The path is dotted with cracks in the ice and ice ridges, and is absolutely teeming with dangers.

If the car gets stuck in a snowdrift or breaks down, and help does not arrive in time, the driver has every chance of turning into his own monument made of ice. Here you can also fall into icy water, from which it will be difficult to get out, given that the ice is 2.5 meters thick!

Well, are you ready to hit the road yet? I recommend visiting the trails in the order in which they are located in the top. After all, the further into the forest, the more wolves. First, gain impressions on easier routes, enjoy the beauty of more moderate ones, gain experience, and then you can move on to heavier weights.

Have fun with your travels, lots of impressions and bon voyage!

No the best way get to know the country rather than drive along its roads in person. Freedom of movement and independence depends only on us, because we built the route ourselves! When traveling, a country opens up with all its pros and cons, and this is also a very valuable experience.

We are used to traveling by car in Russia, because we have our own car. When do you travel abroad? There's nothing complicated. You just need to rent a car from one of the large rental companies, choosing the option that suits you. We did this in the USA, in Thailand and in many other countries. We also rented a motorbike more than once - in Cambodia. Myanmar, Laos and even.
