1. On the edge of the abyss. France: Verdon Gorge
Big CanyonBut not in the USA? Rocky gorge, but not in the desert? No matter how much the gorge of Verdon, the fact remains a fact - today it is the biggest canyon in all of Europe: its length is 25 kilometers, and the depth comes to 700 meters! Although the scale of Verdon gorge and inferior to Arizona Canyon, but clearly surpasses it in beauty: in the spring and summer trees and shrubs with a thick layer cover the slopes, passing only before the most sheer cliffs. To drive around the gorge in a circle, you will need a whole day, although here is just a hundred kilometers. But they all consist of full of bends, descents and lifts, man-made tunnels and travels under scolding over their heads and hiding the sky with rocks. Self beautiful views The gorge is open from the old Cretan road, or the Cretan loop (Route des Cretes, D23), built in the ancient times and passing along the northern edge of the canyon. This narrow loop track in some places comes to the cliff itself. On the edges of it viewing platformsEach of which opens exciting views to Verodon. The Cretan loop is considered one-way: to go through it on the car you need clockwise, starting from the town of Castellin towards the artificial lake Saint-Cruk, which was formed after the construction in 1975 dams. In the lake you can swim and spend several contemplative hours in the shade of trees with wine and crispy French baguette. 100 kilometers from Verdon Park is a Luberon Nature Reserve. It is worth looking here to admire the unhurried rustic life and visit the ruins of one of the castles of the famous Marquis de Garda. 2. Which in the mountains. Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan: Pamir Tract
Travelers always attract places with a note "most-most": the northernmost point of Europe, the most western point of Russia, the highest mountain, the deepest Wpadina. The Pamir tract is one of these places. As - in no way, the most high mountain road on the territory of the former USSR. This almost fully primary automotive route clogs along the spurs of the Pamir Mountains and passes through the three main mountain passes of the Pamir: Taldyk (3615 m), Kyzyl-art (4280 m) and the closest to the "roof of the world" - Abbatal Pass (4655 m). The eastern part of the tract - from the Kyrgyz city of Osh to Tajik Khorog - built in 1931-1934, when the USSR actively mastered the territory of the Mountain Pamir. It takes place on the green foothills, where the horses graze and stand alone yurts and dung huts, as well as past the Pamir National Park, over which Lenin Peak (7134 m).
Awl images / fotodom The Pamir tract is open to travel only during the warmth - in winter the danger of gathering avalanche is great.
One of the most exciting stops on the way is the largest in Tajikistan lake Karakul, located at an altitude of 3914 meters above sea level. Hence the steep rise to the spurs of the Big Pamirs. Rocks, gorges, tunnels, primer, dust, lack of vegetation, rare aules and octara sheep - such, almost the Martian landscape stretches until the descent in the valley already in the Tajik side. With your fellow travelers, all this time will be trucks, donkeys and jeeps, stuffed with a bit inside and frightened on the outside. Cuting from the tract, you can visit a few more interesting places: bedridges of locals, pass "Goodbye, youth", the fortress of fireproken yamchun, hot springs of Bibi Fatima and much more. 3. From north to south. USA: Dalton Highway
Dalton-Highway is 666 kilometers of a dirt road crossing Alaska almost in the middle of the north to south. The track was built in 1974 for the delivery of goods to the Pradho bay oil fields and the maintenance of the Transisaleskin oil pipeline. And the name was in honor of the James Dalton engineer, a specialist in arctic construction. On a motorcycle or some kind of voracious car, it is necessary to see here with caution: on all Highwema between Fairbank, 100 kilometers from which it begins, and Dedhorsis, where it ends, there are only two refills: on a crossing through the river Yukon and in Koldfut (400 KM from Fairbenx), so the necessary supply of gasoline, as well as tires, tools, food and other items, it is better to immediately take with you. Medical care can also be obtained only in Koldy or in Grandfather. This is Alaska, gentlemen! Stern and at first glance, the unfriendly land, which only will give a prepared and responsible traveler unforgettable impressions And opens its wealth. To share Alaska and the truth is there anything: the largest state of the United States is still almost corrupted by civilization, 23 (!) National Park and Reserve are located on its territory. Through some of them: "White Mountains", national Reserve Wild Arctic Nature, Reserves on the banks of the Yukon River, the Arctic Gate Reserve - just passes Dalton-Highway, then lost in a flat snowy or covered with the disintegration of the plain, then looping between overstering from all sides by wooded mountains. Another mandatory ritual of all travelers passing on Highway is to take a picture against the background of a sign denoting the northern polar circle.
4. Homeland Dracula. Romania: Transfuerash Highway
Conceiving the construction of a high-altitude highway through the Fagaras array in 1970, President of Romania Nicolae Ceausescu was least thinking about creating an attractive tourist route. Concerned about events in Czechoslovakia, he feared the military invasion of the country and therefore decided to connect the fields of Valachia and Transylvania to the hard-to-reach mountain road for the speedy transformation military equipment. Now the transfregarash is one of the rare examples of how the object created for military purposes becomes famous for the whole world and attracts many tourists to the country. The highway 261 kilometer takes place along the picturesque valleys and fields with a biased wheat, which Romanians sometimes climb manually, past lakes and reservoirs, through cute Romanian villages with the same dark stone houses. Not far from the beginning of the highway is a pretty town of Sibiu with the classic architecture for Romania, where, as in Romanian, mixed Latin, Romanesque and Slavic heritage. Almost every village on the way there are orthodox Church, and the church, and the mosque. And in the town of Kurta-de Arjes, you can admire the cathedral with stunning carvings and stucco on the walls. In the Transylvanian side, the carpathian travelers is waiting for a Count Dracula. He meets everywhere: in the names of streets, restaurants and hotels, in souvenir shops, in old castles. One of them is the castle of the Penaire, who comes over the Canyon of the Argers River, in the XV century, belonged to the prince of Vlad II Trenen, who became the prototype of the famous Dracula. Another - Castle Bran little away from the transfregash highway, where the Count Dracula was never, but where he was "settled" by Writer Bram Streker, thanks to which the world learned about Dracula.5. Starns of Altai. Russia: Chuy tract
This antique road is the first thread that connected Russia and China many centuries ago. Drive through the Chui tract - I don't care what to cross the whole of Russia. The path begins in Biysk, from birch groves and a village, in one of which was a writer Vasily Shukshin. And already through a hundred kilometers, it is worth the Malnia Gorno-Altaisk, it seems as if you get to the times of Siberia's development: Catun's stormy waters, rocky gorges and green valleys. Mountain Taiga begins. Turn to the left - you will get to Teletskom Lake, right - to the foot of Belukha, where Rerich was looking for Shambalu on the way in Himalayas. And if you drive all the time, the Kurayaya Steppe at the foot of the North Chui Range will open. If desired, you can drive up a few kilometers and go to eternal snow on foot. In the Kuray steppe there are the last taiga islands, and already for the pass, the real steppe begins, where the yurts of nomads are standing and the camel caravans roam. This trip should not be planned for a week, because every turn is a reason for a separate little journey. Mention of the current Chui tract, who used to be called Mungal, can be found in Chinese sources of thousand-year limitations. Since then, before the beginning of the 20th century, it was just a mountain trail, which was used by merchants and pilgrims, who went to the sacred tree in the upper river Katun. The wheel road from Ongudaya to Kosh-Agach (255 km) was equipped only by 1903. Today, the Chuy Tractor is one of the few roads in the world, awarded his own museum. It is located in the Biysky building. local Lore Museum - Here you can see archival documents and photos, the bulk layout of the road, paintings and diorams.6. On a visit to the trolls. Norway: Atlantic Road
Atlantic road (NO 64) It goes near the Ocean itself, jumping from the island to the island with the help of bridges and tunnels. This is a unique technological structure: the part of the highway is only 8.5 kilometers long - six more bridges! The main one is the StorsEisundet Bridge, which is also called the "bridge in heaven." If you approach him from the mainland, it seems that the web track is broken at the highest point and the traveler remains only to jump straight into the sky. The impression is enhanced, if you go through the Atlantic road in the fall, when the storms season begins: the huge waves rolling into minor islands, they break up the supports of the bridges, and sometimes they cover the whole road, knocking the cars riding it. However, the Atlantic Road is only part of the fjord route. Moving on it further towards Oslo, you will be taken to one of the most famous serpentines in Europe - climbing along the slope of the Trolli Stairs Mount (Trollstigen). Harmful trolls often walked their staircase with thick fog, but from this serpentine becomes even more beautiful: the gray stones and the bizarre rock shape, densely crumpled juicy bright green grass and moss appear through "Milk". At the top of the mountain, visibility sometimes drops to 3-5 meters: the more curious to look at the sheep, suddenly appearing from the fog, black lakes and numerous stones pyramids folded by tourists, and maybe the trolls themselves ... if you go further on the highway 63 ( Almost nowhere to go from it), you will get to one of the most beautiful fjords of Norway - Geirangeru. Here you can admire the numerous waterfalls, catch fish or just wander around the surrounding area.7. Stop over the clouds. China: big gateway
The Chinese are famous not only by their hardworking and perseverance (which is only the Great Chinese Wall!), But love for symbols, signs and numbers. Therefore, just to drive along the "road of a large gate" even a person far from Asian culture will not work. The fact is that this road is one of the most steep in all senses of the serpentines of the world. She climbs on Mount Tianmen, which is located 8 kilometers from the city of Zhangjiajie in the south-east of China. This asphalt tape is only 11 kilometers long rises to 1300 meters, making 99 turns along the way! For the Chinese, the number 9 is sacred: this is the number of emperor, as well as the number of palaces that, according to legend, are waiting for a person in heaven. That is why the road to Tianmene is called "dear to heaven". 
AGE / EAST NEWS In China, traditional boats still serve as a popular means of movement.
The main attraction of the route - the Cave "Heavenly Gate". It was formed in the III century, when a huge boulder broke away from the cliff. The "gates" with a height of 131.5 meters often completely shrouded in fog. Local residents They believe that passing through them, it is true to get to heaven. But to earn it right, you will have to work hard. You can climb the cave at once in several ways. The easiest - drive by car or tourist busMore extreme is to make an "express-lift" on a sports car with a professional car drivers driving, and the most difficult thing is to overcome the impressive staircase with 999 steps. If you want truly exciting impressions, it is worthwhile to climb to the top on the world's longest funicular (7455 meters!) - From its windows, views of the entire winding line of the road. 8. Through Pampas. Argentina: Route 40
The NO 40 (Ruta 40) route crosses almost all Argentina from north to south and goes along the high Andean ridges. This is one of the longest roads in the world: 5,000 kilometers - no joke! Especially if they pass through several climatic belts.

For example, in the Los Gosyareas Park, which made UNESCO to the World Natural Heritage List, you can visit the Perito-Moreno Glacier, where the third largest fresh water supply is concentrated in the world. Its area is fully comparable to the area of \u200b\u200ball Buenos Aires, while the glacier is in constant movement, every day changing the location on average by 2 meters. You can admire it from sightseeing sites, as well as going for a walk directly on the ice crumb, accompanied by a climbers. The same road will lead to the famous "Cure hand" (Cueva de Las Manos), where all the walls are made by prints of human palms and images of scenes of hunting, the oldest of which are dating ninth millennium to our era. Separate attention deserves the second in size of the National Park of Argentina - "Calchack Valley" (Calchaqi Walley), in which you can get from the mountain deserts in the subtropical forest in one day - the climate on one relatively small plot of land is changing. And, of course, it is worth going through Ruta 40 to impress the "Martian" landscapes of the desert and look at the flamingo living on the lakes of Patagonia. 9. Colorado Plateau. USA: big circle
The American Wild West is the territory west of the rocky mountains. When pioneers just started to master Indian territories, they stumbled upon unique natural attractions that could not appreciate. Today, this area is called "big circle" (Grand Sirce). The name went from the bus tour, which was called - Grand Circle Tour. It is convenient to go from Denver - first climb into National Respark " Rocky Mountains"Where takes the beginning of the Colorado River, and follow the ones through Aspen to the Colorado Plateau. On the way it is worth watching the park Arch (Arches.National-park.com) and the famous monument valley on the territory of Navajo Indians. Near the town of Page cannot be skipped by an unimprovant Antelope Canyon - on the side of the road will be a simple wooden shield with an appropriate inscription. It is also worth going for a walk on a boat on Lake Powell, the good can be taken a boat. The famous Grand Canyon begins a little south of the panel (Grandcanyon.com). If you go along the southern part, then besides the types of canyon, it turns out to hook the preserved piece of the first transterchanic Route 66 (Illinoison66.org) from Chicago to Los Angeles. It is worth turning back to the Grand Canyon again, to live on the present ranch (grandcanyonranch.com). And only then to go to the Hoover Dam - a gigantic monument of the age of 30s of the last century, where the direct path to Las Vegas begins. So you cross the big circle from the east to the west, visiting the four states of Kolorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. For one trip, all the beauty Grand Circle is not to see - as-nothing on the Plateau Colorado the largest cocentration of parks in the USA - so be ready to come back here again. 10. On the edge of the continent. Australia: Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road of 243 kilometer long runs along the Pacific coast of Australia. The road has no practical value - it was built by the soldiers returned from the First World War as a monument to victims of battles.

And not in vain: the track runs almost along the coast itself, overlooking the view of endless water expanses and quiet secluded lagoons. Among the main attractions found on the way, the Mysterious Store of Shipwrecks (ShipWreck Coast), which broke 638 ships. And the "twelve apostles" is a group of limestone cliffs close in the ocean, up to 45 meters high. In fact, the rocks here are only eight, and until recently they were called no other than the "pig and piglets". The poetic name "Twelve Apostles" appeared simply to attract tourists. Similar history and another cliff about 20 million years old - " London arch" For a long time, she wore the name "London Bridge" for an amazing similarity with the Tower Bridge, and in 1990, when the span closest to the mainland fell under the pressure of the ocean waves, turned into an "arch". This is the uniqueness of the Great Ocean Road: the line of the coast changes so quickly that tomorrow you can no longer see what was today. It is worth going here not only to admire landscapes, sip on the beach or conquer the wave. This is also the route of the Australian Safari: you can observe the migration of southern whales in Warrenambule, and in the hunting reserve Tower Hill stroll along with Kangaroo and Ema and look at the Koal and Sea Birds.

In the summer of the icy road, Turatroactuk, which passes in the direction of the frozen river and connects remote corners of Canada with civilization, simply does not exist. It mystically appears only after the Mackenzie Delta River and the Arctic Ocean shoves with ice. At any other time of the year, here you can only swim by boat or soar above the water stroke by plane ...
The road to the sea extends 130 km and connects the Northwestern Canadian Cities in Inuvik and Tutruaktuk. The path is littered with cracks in ice and ice ridges, and it is also silent by dangers.
If the car gets stuck in a snowdrift or breaks, and the help does not sing in time, the driver has every chance of turning into their own monument to ice.
