Via Transilvanica
YOFF, SOTA & POTA AWARD
Via Transilvanica is a long-distance trail for walking, cycling and horse riding. It is about 1600 km long and crosses Romania from Putna (in the North-West part of Moldova) to Drobeta Turnu-Severin (a city in the West part of Wallachia), passing through more than 400 communities.
Most of it crosses Transylvania with all its ethnic and cultural regions, hence the name.
It is the longest art exhibition in the World,
with 1600 hand-carved milestones along the entire trail.
Via Transilvanica is inspired by other long distance trails around the World, such as El Camino, Pacific Crest Trail and Appalachian Trail. Via Transilvanica is a journey of courage because it makes us talk about who we really are. It helps us discover landmarks from the Danube shores, to the mountain ridges.
