  european silk routes
One of the goals of the route was to end up establishing trajectories based on visits of historic sites, museums and cultural and industrial places that emphasise the cultural heritage and the old and current trade flows connected to textiles and the know-how that comes with them.
In 1993, the sixth seminar that marked the launching of the Greek section of the routes of the Council of Europe was held in Soufli and in the Evros delta in Greece.
Finally, in 1994 the areas in the North and Centre of Portugal accommodated the seventh conference on the cultural routes of the Council of Europe, mainly centred on the role of silk and textiles as structuring elements in regional economy.

 Trekking In Turkey: Press on The Lycian Way and St Paul Trail by Kate Clow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
This route was a huge success; number of walkers have been rising steadily since its inauguration, and in the last Holy Year (in 1999), 155,000 people were awarded a certificate for completing the route.
In spite of now having designated over 20 different 'Cultural Routes', the Council of Europe has not found a theme with as much promise as that of the Camino de Santiago; the only one which shows a little promise is the Via Francegina, the pilgrim route from Canterbury in England to Rome.
The secret of success of a Cultural Route seems to be not only to provide resources for academic study and cultural development, but to choose a challenging and interesting route to walk.

 Long Distance Paths and Promoted Routes in Britain - The Ramblers' Association
The longer and more important routes have their own pages, while a number of shorter, more local routes are discussed either alongside the longer routes with which they interconnect, or on regional pages where a number of local routes are summarised.
The routes are not always ideal for walkers, many are hard-surfaced and there are extensive sections along (usually quieter) roads; walkers using busy cycle routes may also feel vulnerable even though the route is open to walkers too.
Where there are gaps in your route, you should try enquiring locally, or obtaining the relevant Ramblers' Regional Guide (see the Free Publications section), since there may be shorter routes and sections of circular walks that you could usefully use.

 European route E4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
European route E4 passes through Finland and Sweden.
It begins in Kemi in northern Finland, then goes south along the Gulf of Bothnia to Gävle, then on a more inland route southwards.
In the new system of European routes, it should have been a part of E55, but it remains in the pre-1992 designation (E4) within Sweden, because the expenses connected with re-signing this extremely long road portion would be too large.

 Ryder Walker Alpine Adventures General Information and Maps
Formed during the Eocene period when the African and European tectonic plates collided, the Alps were dramatically carved by glaciers during the Quaternary period and today represent a text book of alpine geology.
Extensive systems of hiking trails have taken advantage of the routes through the mountain passes used by ancient traders, herders and pilgrims, and of the local trails connecting alps, chapels and mountain hamlets.
Because the Alps are so populous and heavily used in comparison to the American mountain wildernesses, a system of alpine club huts has grown to supplant camping as the only ethical approach to sleeping high in the mountains, and that too has contributed to the ease of accessing the high alpine environment.

Although it is certain that these houses are open to students so that they learn more about life and work of a writer, it is also necessary that they get a citizen familiar with them in order to make his or her aware of the cultural significance that it has.
Creation of literary routes will allow to get house-museums closer to citizens, extending, this way, the “museum” space turning them into centers of diffusion of culture in the social sphere.

This is because the E01 is the westernmost main north-south route, and Europe does not have a straight western boundary.
On the other hand, there are countries where European roads do not have a national number or only an administrative one, for instance Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Similarly, the Swedish E4 is not an east-west route.

For the first time, the surrender of slots is for an unlimited duration, compared with six years for the alliances, and the slots must be returned to the slot coordinator if they are misused or underused by the new entrant, not to the airline partners.

The Cultural Routes programme was launched by the Council of Europe in 1987.
The initial concept was to demonstrate in a visible way, by means of a journey through space and time, how the heritage of the different countries of Europe represented a shared cultural heritage.
The Cultural Routes also provide a concrete demonstration of the fundamental principles of the Council of Europe: human rights, cultural democracy, European cultural diversity and identity, dialogue, mutual exchange and enrichment across boundaries and centuries.

Following proposals from different member states, the Cultural Routes programme was progressively enlarged to encompass some two dozen initiatives of a different nature; many have a European-wide dimension, others correspond to cross-border circuits, local or regional itineraries.

All of the highlight the links between the diversity of European natural and cultural heritage, which are essential elements of their common history.
