A cross-border walking trail

VEF initiated the development of Via Egnatia as a cross border hikingtrail. Meanwhile there are several participants and partnerorganisations in the different countries involved in this megaproject. This cooperative effort is necessary, as there are many problems to overcome, before VE can be fully operant and safe as a hikingpath. VEF's technical team is working on the exploration and mapping of the different parts of the route, which will result in concrete advises to the local authorities and eventually in a good route description and signposting.
It is foreseen that in the future local inhabitants along VE can start small enterprises, like Bed and Breakfasts, and donkey/horse-stations.
As a pioneer-organisation VEF organises the Caravan Journey on foot, which has taken place in May 2009, from Durrës via Elbasan, Ohrid and Bitola to the Greek border . The second part will take place in May-June-July 2010 through Greece and Turkey. Subscription for the Caravantour of 2010 is now open. See Caravantour 2010
