EAVF President Francesco Ferrari met with the European President of the Via Romea Germanica, Thomas Dahms, in Fidenza at the EAVF headquarters. The meeting aimed to reaffirm the strong commitment to cooperation between the two routes, both certified by the Council of Europe.
The two associations are already engaged in a collaboration protocol focused on the development of the “Romee” (ways to Rome) routes and the regions they traverse, with an emphasis on international cooperation. The year 2025, which marks the Jubilee, will be an opportunity to promote joint actions among the three main Romee routes: Francigena, Germanica, and Strata.
The Via Romea Germanica covers nearly 2,200 kilometres from Stade to Rome, crossing three countries in 94 stages: 44 in Germany, 4 in Austria, and 46 in Italy. It merges with the Via Francigena in the city of Montefiascone (Lazio).
The Romea Strata stretches for over 4,000 kilometres across seven European countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, and Italy. It merges with the Via Francigena in the city of Fucecchio (Tuscany).
