Highlands

About Highlands

Leaving Poiana Stampei, hikers also leave Bucovina behind. The trail continues toward Lunca Ilvei, already in Bistrița-Năsăud county, at the foothills of the Rodna mountains. Here begins the Highlands region, with a length of 210 km. Via Transilvanica passes through the mountains and shows how the harshness of the land has taught people to adapt to both nature and changing times.

Crossing a diverse landscape, from mountains to lowland forests, from gentle hills to wide fields, this section invites hikers to discover natural beauty and tourist attractions, while the centuries-old culture, enriched by significant ethnic diversity, gives the region a special aura.
