A caravan of ten, horse-driven carts leaved from Sighetu Marmaţiei, in northern Romania’s Maramureş region, to Alba Iulia, where the 1918 Union was proclaimed, says Romania-Insider.com.
The caravan will recreated the historical trip that the people of Maramureş took to Alba Iulia, 100 years ago, Doru Dăncuş, the vice-president of the Maramureş County Council, told Agerpres. The caravan leaves today, November 22, and will travel 300 km before reaching Alba Iulia, on December 1.
Along the way, Romanians living in Ukraine and in other parts of Maramureş will join. “We will all wear traditional costumes and I think we will be more than 100 participants only from Maramureş,” Dăncuş explained. The caravan will stop in Săpânţa and Cicârlău to pick up the flags that traveled the same road to Alba Iulia in 1918, he said.
