Moreover, any deterioration of the trail's infrastructure is also subject to penalties, ensuring that Via Transilvanica remains a safe and inviting space for all adventurers. The excitement surrounding this trail has already led to the inauguration of the first accommodation module located in a village in Mureș, enhancing the experience for those who choose to walk its paths.
