The route, which involves more than 160 places of worship across the country, focusses on Wooden Churches as symbols for Romania’s shared religious and cultural heritage. Along the route, tourists will have the opportunity to learn about ancient traditions, which tell the story of the Romanian folk genius and the nation's unity.
