Terra Romana

About Terra Romana

Via Transilvanica ends its final 143 km across the last part of Caraș-Severin (starting at Crușovăț) and Mehedinți county, a region we call Terra Romana.

This area has a unique climate, which has allowed for the development of breathtaking natural landscapes. The history here, spanning thousands of years, makes it a treasure waiting to be discovered. From stories of Dacians and Romans, to hidden treasures in caves, to roads traveled by Romanian kings and modern tales of local people, everything reveals itself to those who open their mind and heart. The Mehedinți plateau offers views worthy of an epic conclusion to the Via Transilvanica trail.

Local legends and stories abound, making this perhaps the greatest treasure a hiker can find along this section. The final stretch in Drobeta-Turnu Severin proves that some places and stories can only be discovered by walking the country.
