• Explications to the map of Carpathians from page

• (each click corresponds with a paragraph below)
• We will start at the Danube and hike through the
  first part of the Southern Carpathians.
• On the ridge path, we will traverse the
  Transylvanian Alps and ascend Rumanias highest
  mountain Moldoveanu and then climb through the
  steep and jagged limestone rocks of the Pietra
  Craiuli.
• Quiet and lonesome passages follow in the Eastern
  Carpathians. We continue our hike to the former
  border of Galicia, the country with its great
  multi-ethnic past in the middle Europe.
• The path continues along the historical boundary
  between well today it is the boundary to
  Transcarpathia, a Ukrainian region. But when we
  take a closer look, we can find Austrian,
  Hungarian, Czechoslovakian and Soviet boundary
  stones evidence of a turbulent past east and
  west of this boundary on the ridge of the ??????i
  ??????? 'Lisysti Karpaty', also called Beskids.
• We come to Slovakia and to Poland. And there we
  pass the High Tatras the worlds smallest high
  mountain region. The Gerlach stit, with its 2.655
  m the highest peak of the Carpathians, is
  situated in this region.
• We finish our hike passing through the Western
  Carpathians, which also touch the Czech Republic,
  and in Bratislava, after 1.300 km or so who has
  ever measured the distance? we reach the Danube
  again.

• via carpatica as a vision
• A vision does not correspond with reality
• It is a guiding line for practical steps to be
  taken

6

• Via carpatica is our vision. A vision however is
  not the reality, it does not correspond with the
  reality.
• However a vision can be useful it is a goal to
  work towards to and a guiding line for our
  practical actions.
• What is the plan and what are the goals of the
  Carpathian Project of ISF München?
• Which results should be achieved?
• In which framework?

7

• Frame
• Initiative of the European Carpathian
  Project Protection and sustainable development
  of the Carpathians in a transnational framework
  
• Promoted by the programme INTERREG IIIB/CADSES
  of the European Union
• Duration September 2005 till August 2008

• Goals of the European Carpathian Project
• The objective of the Carpathian Project is to
  enhance the sustainable development of the
  Carpathian region based on its rich natural and
  cultural heritage. The project will analyse the
  available information base, develop strategies
  and policy instruments and will implement pilot
  activities together with regional and national
  stakeholders. The project builds on the
  transnational framework established by the
  Carpathian Convention to apply EU policies
  throughout the Carpathian region.

• Goals of the Carpathian Project of ISF München
• Development of sustainable mountain tourism
• Creation of occupational and qualificational
  perspectives for the local population
• Identification and organisation of necessary
  training courses

10

• Approach of the project
• Pilot region Transsylvanian Alps (Fagarasi
  Mountains)
• Co-operation with local players in a bottom up
  approach
• Authorities of the provinces Brasov, Sibiu and
  Arges
• Siebenbürgischer Karpatenverein (SKV)
• Mountain rescue services (Salvamont)
• Hut administrators
• Association of Mountain Guides Romania (AGMR)
• Ecology group Club for protection of nature and
  tourism (CPNT)
• Friends of Nature Romania (Prietenii Naturii
  Romania)
• Connections to other regions and organisations
  ? transfer of know-how

11

• Work plan
• Inquiry of the present touristic infrastructure
  through interviews with relevant local players
• Development of an infrastructural concept for the
  pilot region
• Identification of job opportunities
• Identification of the necessary qualifications
• Support of local players in the organisation of
  necessary training courses

12

• Expected results
• Extension and improvement of the existing path
  and hut network and of the infrastructure in
  areas close to the mountains
• Development of quality criteria for huts and
  paths
• Improving the acces to information for users of
  huts and paths, including guides and maps as well
  as a website.
• Creation of new job opportunities on the
  mountains and in the valleys
• Training measures for those employed in mountain
  tourism
• Transfer of know-how among European mountain
  regions
• Creation of three types of networks - among the
  local players - within the Carpathians -
  between Alps and Carpathians

• If we will be able to realise these goals and
  achieve these results, mountain tourists one day
  will be able to
• hike on marked paths over the ridges and crests
  of the Carpathians from the Danube back to the
  Danube,
• find a hut in the evening,
• where they can spend the night and get something
  to eat.
• They will find route descriptions and they will
  get information on the Internet.
• They will find an infrastructure in the valleys
  that will provide an easier access to the
  mountains.
• And all this will be made possible by the efforts
  made and the services rendered by the resident
  population, which in turn will also help to
  secure jobs. This will be an important
  contribution to the stabilisation of this
  European region.

• Activities till autumn 2006
• July 2006Inquiry of acitivities related to
  sustainable mountain tourism in the Fagarasi
  Mountains

  sustainable tourism for the Fagarasi Mountains
