The DN10 is a Romanian national road, that runs from Buzău to Braşov, crossing the Carpathian Mountains through the Buzău Pass.

The road follows the Buzău River valley and is an important connection between Transylvania and the cities of the south-eastern Romania.

The December 2006 landslide

On 16 December 2006, a massive landslide which occurred in the Siriu commune near kilometer 81 has rendered DN10 unusable in that area, as some 5000 m³ of dirt have flooded the road. The road was cleared and became available again by 22 December, a week after the landslide occurred.^[1]
