The high-stakes reality of Europe's most dangerous coastal drive
In short: The Adriatic Highway is a masterpiece of coastal engineering that doubles as a perilous gauntlet for drivers. This video captures the intense pressure of the summer season, where breathtaking scenery meets extreme environmental hazards and high-stakes logistics.
