International UNESCO Project

Central European countries, connected by the river Danube, yet divided for 50 years by the Iron Curtain, used to present their own culture in a separate, individual way. Archeological remains of the Roman Empire, along the "Limes Romanus", are perhaps the most unifying monuments interlinking Austria, Moravia, Slovakia and Hungary in one historic epoch.

To present these in a concerted way is the aim of a forthcoming publication entitled "Itinerary of Roman Sites". Within Slovakia the publication will reference sites such as Devin, Rusovce-Gerulata, Stupava, Dubravka, Milanovce, Cifer-P c, Boldog, and Iza-Leanyvar. A consequent joint proposal could be to include the entire group of Roman sites in the concerned countries into the UNESCO World Heritage List.

It is expected that the publishing of "Itinerary of Roman Sites" will also contribute to the development of cultural soft tourism. This concept of cultural tourism encourages the use of environment friendly transportation (bicycles, boats, walking), and is considered to be the best, and most authentic way to rediscover historical culture, and to arouse public interest in the cultural and natural environment of the region.

Estimated costs: 50 000 $
