How challenging is the driving on the CV-705 road?
The 19.7 km drive is fully asphalted but features a narrow pavement width with no central division lines over several mountain sectors. It contains 12 sharp hairpin turns distributed along the main elevation changes. The corners are tight, requiring low gears and continuous steering adjustments due to blind visibility caused by the flanking pine trees and rock cuttings near the road edges.
