List Of Highest Paved Roads In Europe
This is a list of the highest paved roads in Europe. It includes roads that are over long and whose culminating point is at least above sea level. This height approximately corresponds to that of the highest settlements in Europe and to the tree line in several mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Pyrenees, where most of the highest roads are located. Some of the listed roads are closed to motorized vehicles, although they are normally all accessible to pedestrians and cyclists.

Due to snow conditions, most of the high roads are closed between (late) autumn and late spring/early summer. Note on the elevations: Near the highest point of the road there is often a shield that indicates the name (in local lan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
