Via Transilvanica, Section 5: Terra Dacica (official)

This section of the trail is rich in history, both old and recent, under whose weight important cities stretch lazily, preserving their royal and Dacian fortresses. Here, too, are the highest altitudes of Via Transilvanica (VT), reaching approximately 1,300 meters. One of the cities that Terra Dacica passes through is Alba Iulia, a place where major events such as the Great Union took place - a city that stands as a symbol of unity and national identity for Romanians. Vast vineyards, steppe-like habitats offering visitors fascinating insights into flora, fauna, paleontology, and mineralogy, small hobbit-like villages with rounded stone fences, discoveries of dwarf dinosaur fossils, traces of the Dacian ancestors, and welcoming people who always have a kind word to say - Terra Dacica is an experience like no other.
