The Via Transilvanica long-distance hiking trail is listed along with Brasov city among the National Geographic's 25 best destinations in the world to travel to in 2025, the Tasuleasa Social Association announced on Wednesday."The latest ranking by National Geographic magazine with the world's top 25 unmissable destinations for 2025 includes, among extraordinary locations in Guatemala, Mexico or Thailand, a city from Romania! Brasov is on the list and shares the place with Via Transilvanica as must-visit destinations in the coming year. We are extremely happy that increasingly more dedicated publications recommend our route internationally, and this is already visible on site, in the growing number of foreign hikers who come to get to know our country," reads the message posted on the Via Transilvanica Facebook page.National Geographic recommends Brasov city as a tourist destination for 2025 and mentions that the region can be explored along the Via Transilvanica, a hiking trail completed in 2022, which starts from Putna and runs across ten counties to the Danube's entry to Romania.The text mentions two of the Via Transilvanica sections: Terra Saxonum, which passes through Saxon hamlets and the 12th-century town of Sighisoara, and Terra Dacica, which winds among vineyards and ancient Dacian fortresses.Via Transilvanica - "The throughline road" - is a project initiated in 2018 by the Tasuleasa Social Association based in Bistrita-Nasaud County, and consists of a 1,400 kilometers long hiking trail that crosses Romania diagonally, from the northern Putna to the south-western Drobeta - Turnu Severin.The route can be traveled on foot, by bike or on horseback and is signposted with painted markers, direction poles and individually carved andesite bollards.
