Tourists in Transylvania will be able to easily follow a 2,000-year old Roman road which is currently being marked by a team of historians, students and mountain rescuers, though a program aiming to promote and include in the touristic circuits the roads built by the Romans in Transylvania. This first Roman road included in the program is ten kilometers long and is located in the Bucium locality area, in Alba county. The road starts in the Bucium Cerbu area and goes up on a mountain peak, 1,200 meters high, offering sights of the Motilor Country (Tara Motilor).

Romania's current territory was part of the Roman Empire between 106 and 275 AC. At the time, these lands were called Dacia and were inhabited by the Dacians. Romans have built stone roads on the Dacian territory as they did across all the regions they had conquered.
