Old Tahir pass 1970 - 201140 years after...

On the Silk Road, between Erzurum and Agri in eastern Turkey, the Tahir pass was the most difficult part of the journey.
During winter time the road was a nightmarefor the truck drivers on the way to Iran

And still those roads are better than the once we have here in Belgium. :p

I remember it from 1969.Although Tahir seems to attract the publicity there were lots of other places which were much steeper and with very cambered bends and certainly no joke in the snow! Tahir was not the worst place ,in fact when we arrived there on the way out we would say "Thats the bad bits done now there is only Tahir to do !!!"

Hy Ferdy, i my remember the "Silk Road" are in better condition as yet. you see it on the old pictures.

Today looks like the Road as a dead oneway road. Today she is not a pretty sight.

I Love this road in the summer, but in the winter she was a Beast and real Nightmare for everyone.

Thanks for your video. This time was the best on my trucker-life.

best regards from Germany
