Via Transilvanica is the story of a place. But it is also a story about time. It began in Tășuleasa Social Association, where a handful of people stubbornly set out to build a 1,400 km path across the country. At first, we estimated it would take ten years to settle the last kilometer stone. We were able to complete the trail in four and a half years because a lot of other people put their hearts into the story and invested a lot of resources. The most important of them - TIME.
That's how all important things get done. With time. No shortcuts. The equation of time on the Via Transilvanica proved that if many people are generous with their time, they manage to do great things in a shorter time. It will still take many people investing time to ensure that this path endures for years to come. It's no secret: a long-distance trail needs long-term support.
It's time to join the story! We have launched a membership program for all those who want to become People of the Trail together with us. With your contribution, you support the ongoing efforts to maintain and develop the path. You are, in effect, giving it time.
Whether you're an endurance hiker or just love the idea, you can support the smooth running of the project directly, through a monthly or annual donation. We said from the beginning that Via Transilvanica belongs to everyone who believes in it. These are not just nice words. Since its inauguration, the route has passed from the hands of one association to the care of all of us.
With the support of people like you we are making Via Transilvanica a real ambassador for Romania for a long time to come. Person by person, we are turning the path that unites into a project for our country, the duration of which is decided by all of us - People of the Trail.
You don’t have to walk every step. Your presence in the People of the Trail community alone is enough… to keep the time on our side. Join us on the long-distance path! The one that endures. Because it unites us.
