About Via Transilvanica

Via Transilvanica, the "road that unites", is a 1,400 kilometer long distance trail, a tourist route that crosses Romania diagonally from Putna to Drobeta Turnu Severin. It's designed for hiking, cycling and horse riding. Via Transilvanica is marked with painted markers, signposts and at every kilometer, there is an individually carved andesite stone, therefore all these milestones can probably become the longest art gallery in the world, which accompanies travelers along the way.

The trail crosses ten counties (administrative units of the country): Suceava, Bistrița-Năsăud, Mureș, Harghita, Sibiu, Brașov, Alba, Hunedoara, Caraș-Severin and Mehedinți and is divided into seven cultural-historical regions: Bucovina, Highlands, Terra Siculorum, Terra Saxonum, Terra Dacica, Terra Banatica, Terra Romana. In total, Via Transilvanica crosses 107 administrative-territorial units in Romania, and highlights the natural and cultural heritage of each region.

Via Transilvanica is a long-distance trail inspired by the history of other such trails in Europe, North America and beyond. But above all, it is a social project, so the focus is on the community. The project aims to bring to light places in the country, seemingly forgotten by the world and largely depopulated due to economic limitations, and bring them to life. This revival is due to the backpackers who, after a long day on the trails, expect a minimum of hospitality and at least one welcoming face to share stories with. This is what the road that unites is all about.

Founded in 2001, the Csik Chamber Orchestra is now one of the leading orchestras of the country. In July 2001, a chamber orchestra, founded by university students from the most prominent Universities of the country played its first concert in Miercurea-Ciuc, under the leadership of renowned pianist, conductor, and pedagogue, Zoltán Szőnyi. The concert was such a great success that soon it became a regular performer not only as part of citywide events but it created its own concert schedule and named itself “Csik Chamber Orchestra”. Since 2002, the orchestra has also met foreign invitations. Their recordings have been broadcasted several times on the MR1 Bartók Radio in Budapest and Radio Târgu-Mureş. Thanks to the financial support of different grants and organizations, the orchestra appear offen as a full symphonic orchestra, still keeping its name as Csik Chamber Orchestra, as a tribute to its origins. In the autumn of 2006 they invited to Budapest to the Music Academy of Liszt. Duna Television has made a documentary about the ensemble, which was released in the same year, entitled “The Music of Ciuc and Salzburg” – The concert of the Csik Chamber Orchestra at the Music Academy (Liszt Ferenc Music Academy, Budapest, Hungary). Since 2008, the orchestra performs more than 6 concerts a year, and supports, organizes and oversees many other classical music events in the area. One of them is the Early Music Festival from Miercurea Ciuc, which is now internationally renowned and in 2019 celebrated its 39th-year anniversary; the series of Autumn Piano Evenings, launched in 2017; BonBon Matiné lecture concert series dedicated for the youth and many more.

„Egy ókori mítosz szerint Zeusz állította fel az olimpiai játékokat, miután legyőzte Kronoszt. Az olimpiáról minden hellénnek hírt kellett kapnia, hogy biztosan odaérjenek.” Sok év után ismét táncháztalálkozót hirdetünk Udvarhelyen, a 40 éves erdélyi táncházat ünnepelve és éltetve. Most adunk hírt jó előre, hogy mindenki biztosan oda- és ráérjen: szeptember 22-23, Székelyudvarhely. Mindenkit várunk. Találkozni jó. Öröm rég nem látott kollégát, barátot megölelni, öröm a szabott és beosztott időn kívüli (szabad) időt együtt eltölteni, hogy ismét és ismét átéljük a találkozás örömét, azt, hogy országtól - kortól - lakhelytől függetlenül a táncházban, a hagyományos paraszti kultúra szeretetében, összetartozunk. Tegyünk félre bánatot és fájdalmakat. Tegyünk félre munkát, lakodalmat, szórakozást és termény-betakarítást. Találkozzunk. És közösen ismét le fogjuk győzni az Időt. Kelemen László
