Project description

MAIN OBJECTIVE:

The project aims to establish both a cultural theme region and a European cultural route along the Roman Danube Limes. This initiative seeks to highlight shared European heritage and contribute to the socio-economic development of the Danube region.  This implies a stronger transnational cooperation and coordination in the presentation and promotion (joint branding, slow culture tourism) of the Roman heritage in the Danube region, in particular the Roman Danube Limes as serial transnational UNESCO World Heritage.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

1. Establishment of a network and capitalisation of forerunner projects
2. Presentation and promotion modules for the joint heritage of the Roman Danube Limes
3. Creation of the Cultural Route and passing through the certification process
