A Milestone on the Journey of Discovery

 

The Via Transilvanica mile marker, generously provided by the Tășuleasa Social organization, is the first of its kind outside Romania, and a tribute to the spirit of exploration and connection that defines the Via Transilvanica trail.

 

History and Background


Via Transilvanica is a long-distance trail that stretches over 1,000 kilometers, crossing through some of Romania’s most picturesque and historically rich landscapes. Conceived as a cultural and hiking route, it connects the northern town of Putna to the southern city of Drobeta-Turnu Severin, passing through the heart of Transylvania.

The Significance of the Mile Marker


Inspired by famous trails like Spain’s Camino de Santiago and America’s Appalachian Trail, the Via Transilvanica was inaugurated in 2018 and is divided into segments, each offering unique experiences of Romania’s geography, history, and culture.
