This is the section of Via Transilvanica that crosses Alba and Hunedoara counties, both steeped in ancient and recent history. Cities of major importance spread along the valley, with royal, medieval, and ancient Dacian fortresses.
The trail follows the Mureș valley and the Târnava plateau, passing vineyards, greeting the Apuseni mountains, and winding toward the Retezat mountains, reflecting the deep roots of the Romanian people, until it reaches the Iron Gates of Transylvania in Caraș-Severin county.
This region is a harmonious blend of breathtaking natural landscapes, historic towns, and archaeological heritage. Its difficulty ranges from easy to medium but will remain long in your memory and heart.
