Starting March 2010
Development of cooperation projects along the VIA REGIA in Hesse

During a workshop in Steinau an der Strasse (Germany) on March 9th, 2010, representatives of:

  • the Business Development Corporation / Regional Forum Hersfeld-Rotenburg,
  • the Association Nature and Lebensraum Rhön and
  • the Regional Forums Fulda Southwest and the association Upper Hesse

signed a Letter of Intent expressing their willingness to cooperate within the frame of „VIA REGIA – Cultural Route of the Council of Europe“.

The association Spessart Regional e.V. will decide in April 2010 during its next board meeting on its participation. Also in the region Vogelsberg individual communities announced their interest and will be involved in an informal way.

The basis for the interregional cooperation projects is the EAFRD regulation / LEADER. The following working groups had been set up in order to reach concrete results:

  • Network geology and cultural history
  • European expertise
  • Learning modules
  • VIA REGIA a road shaped
  • Series of events VIA REGIA
  • Business and Social,

These groups will give details of their work during this year.

In addition the following activities will take place in 2010:

  • A music-group from Lviv/UA will be in East Hesse performing in several places between April 20th and 24th. This is an initiative of the partnership association Hünfeld.
  • The partnership association Hünfeld will be on an exciting study trip along the VIA REGIA into Bukovina starting August 3rd until August 13th, 2010.
  • A Polish-German youth group from Görlitz is planning a summer bicycle tour along the VIA REGIA with stopps in Hünfeld and Gelnhausen.
  • The adult education center in the city Fulda actually has been organising a workshop seminar on VIA REGIA.
  • The history workshop Hosenfeld will execute an afternoon retracing history near Hosenfeld this spring.
