The Drumeții Montane Association will set up an information point in the centre of the city of Târgu Jiu about the "Transalpin" Mountain Sports Festival on 20 April 2012, from 12:00 until 17:00, so that those who wish to obtain more information about this festival can meet the association's volunteers during this period. At the same time, in the pavilion tent that will be set up in the city centre there will also be a small photo exhibition with landscapes from the Transalpina.
The aim of this festival is to promote and popularise sports tourism as an eco-friendly way of spending free time, to raise the level of knowledge of the tourism potential created by the existence of the "Transalpina" route and to educate society in a green spirit – through involvement in environmentally protective activities.
