This reminds me of a trip I was on a couple of years ago. I was traveling from Italy to France, and wanted to make a visit to a friend in Switzerland on the way. I never drove that route before, so I just typed the friend's address into the GPS and followed every turn. It made me go on a really curvy and steep road up the Alps, than equally curvy and steep down. The road was wet from the melting ice/snow (it was a summer trip) and at one point I went through a foggy area which looked like I was driving through the clouds. It was a pretty interesting experience, but I kept thinking that it was strange that there were basically no other cars in either direction. When I got to the bottom I saw why: this road was merging with a tunnel which goes directly underneath the path I took, saving you a couple of hours of driving. Live and learn.
