Does Anyone Recognize This or Know Where it Is?
A nice Canadian just sent me this picture with the name “Albania snaky cliff road” – asking where it is. ย Does anyone recognize it?
Alfred guesses “Logara?” and says “It’s Great!”
Free beer when you get here, if you can tell us where it is!
hi,
HAIRPIN HIGHWAY, AUSTRIA
http://www.eyehearttravel.com/hairpin-highway-austria/
it is Hairpin Highway, Austria
Well it doesn’t look like Llogara… Although the road from Llogara is steep and a bit snaky too. However, the scenery is completely different. Is the Canadian sure it’s in Albania?
It is great though!!
The mystery is solved – it’s in China… ๐
Well, this is funny! Is that like Paris, Texas? I was thinking that the little cement guard rails and signs looked a little too crisp for Albania . . . . Too Bad!
Sorry guys, the beer is mine… ๐ The road is called Heaven Linking Avenue and it’s in Hunan, China: http://www.google.co.il/search?q=heaven+linking+avenue&hl=iw&rlz=1C1AFAB_enIL463IL463&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=nIYEUMXlNISL4gTE__moCA&ved=0CD0Q_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=607
It has 99 (!!) turns, symbolizing the 9 palaces of heaven…
Sorry to have lead everyone astray! You’re right, it IS China. (I’m “the canadian” who started this mess) ๐
This all started with a site I found offering hiking in Albania: http://www.infohub.com/vacation_packages/31577.html
It’s nice that they promote “tourism in Albania” by using random pictures from elsewhere on Earth…
Great site you have got here.. It’s difficult to find high-quality writing like yours nowadays. I really appreciate people like you! Take care!!
Welcome to Albania, Troy – where Plagiarism is unknown – or should I say ‘unrecognized.’
No, this road is not in Albania.
This road is in Tianmen, China. (http://imggot.com/single/262465) Or search: “Tianmen road” in google.
It’s not Llogara – I was there a couple of months ago and stopped often, looking back. Llogara has many dizzying hairpins, but none like this… Having spent three weeks criss-crossing Albania by car, I can’t say I ever came across this road…
it’s an Albanian road from Tirana to Elbasan, named “Qafe kerraba”
