About the project:
Roman Legacy aims to strengthen the cohesion of the Danube region through its shared Roman heritage. Building on previous projects, a cultural route along the Roman Danube Limes will be created, including smaller towns and remote areas. This route will be promoted through digital presentations and promotional products. A comprehensive sustainability concept and an enlarged network of experts will support the project in the long term. Additionally, slow tourism and ecological tourism products will be developed, based on cultural heritage and involving the local population. The aim is to sustainably promote and present the Roman heritage of the Danube region.
Engaging with the Roman heritage in an larger theme region opens up the possibility to expand the cultural route in the future if required, while also telling the story of the hinterland that supplied the Limes line, thus forming an essential part of the Roman storytelling.
