Interreg Danube Region - Roman Legacy

The project

ROMAN LEGACY aims to strengthen cohesion in the Danube region through its shared Roman heritage. Building on previous projects, a cultural route is being created along the Roman Danube Limes, which also includes smaller towns and remote areas. This route will be promoted through digital presentations and advertising products. A comprehensive sustainability concept and an expanded network of experts will support the project in the long term. In addition, slow tourism and ecological tourism products based on cultural heritage and involving the local population will be developed. The aim is to promote and present the Roman heritage of the Danube region in a sustainable manner.

In the past, several EU projects have focused on the Roman heritage in the Danube region and its preservation and enhancement for sustainable cultural tourism. Various tools and strategies have been developed and initial steps have been taken to create a future European cultural route along the Danube.

ROMAN LEGACY brings together the important Interreg DTP projects Living Danube Limes, Danube's Archaeological eLandscapes, Archaeodanube, ISTER, Transdanube Travel Stories, and the associated networks, and makes use of their best results.

Examining the Roman heritage in a broader thematic region opens up the possibility of expanding the cultural route in the future if necessary, while at the same time telling the story of the hinterland that supplied the Limes line and thus represents an essential part of the Roman historical narrative.
