\tIron Curtain Trail
\tDeveloping Alternative Tourism Potentials in Macedonia<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\t\"\"The EuroVelo Cycle Route Network (EV) consists of 12 high quality cycling routes linking more than 20 European countries. This ecological network serves as a global symbol for trans-boundary cooperation in nature conservation, sustainable development, as well as a vehicle to enhance touristic offers throughout Europe. The EuroVelo has agreed to include the Iron Curtain Trail as the 13th cycling route.<\/p>\n

\tThe Iron Curtain Trail (ICT) is a series of national and cross boundary protected areas along the Submitformer Iron Curtain – passing through many countries, including 14 EU member states. It links memorials, museums, and facilities commemorating Europe’s divided history and the peaceful revolution in Central and Eastern Europe. The ICT represents the longest heritage trail in the world and can help with promoting the European identity through its rich historical, cultural, and natural landscapes. (for more information visit www.ironcurtaintrail.eu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\tThe ICT also stretches into the territory of Macedonia, crossing the border near Delchevo, then continuing through a wide valley toward Pehchevo and Berovo. The route then passes through fields and meadows heading south, toward Strumica and Bosilovo, and crossing the Bulgarian border again in the area of the Municipality of Novo Selo. The road is steep at times, but it winds through picturesque hills and offers wonderful views.<\/p>\n

\tThe Centre for Development of East planning region and the Centre for Development of the South-East planning region, in cooperation with the German Technical Cooperation Programme on Regional Economic Development (GTZ RED) and the German Embassy in Macedonia are hosting an International Symposium, Iron Curtain Trail – Developing Alternative Tourism Potentials in Macedonia, to discuss Sustainable Cycling Tourism, the EuroVelo and Iron Curtain Trail as significant actions implemented in European Cycle tourism and its touristic potential.<\/p>\n
