Driving on a road with tons of bends and a tunnel was always my highlight as a child. I loved watching the majestic mountains rock formations, the ocean crashing against the rocks and the plants.

Have you seen the pass when driving out of Prince Albert, South Africa. It is as scary as it is breattaking to drive. Since only one car fits on the road and therr are just a few places where one can pass the other cars.

It is funny, we were driving back home from a two day break at a Hot Spring and I said the same thing to my sister but nothing can beat the experience of taking these roads and soaking up the beauty.

Those are some great rides! My two cents is The Road to Hana in Hawaii, it's one lane part of the time. I also like the drive from Denver, Colorado to Grand Junction, CO just for the sheer beauty of it, especially in the winter! I just had a friend do Furka Pass on a motorcycle and he said it was fantastic! Thanks for this post!

Exciting places. That's just a pity that they are very dangerous, but the photos created in those places are worth a lot. That feeling when standing on the edge of the abyss, and from below a great height. It's very breathtaking.

Cannot agree with you more dreamcatchers. Very few people truly explore their own countries, I know my country still have many wonders I need to go unlock. We have the most majestic mountain ranges which I do not visit often enough.

I was also amazed when I saw Sani Pass from aerial view, while driving it feels quite different, you are so busy soaking up all the beauty around you that you pay very little attention to the curves of the road.
