On the period between 7th and 9th of August, more than 120 persons have travelled through Sighisoara and the surroundings, in its very little corners. By foot, by bike, by car, with a GPS device, in team or alone, one had to resolve some clue to identify the GPS position of the boxes, more or less easy to guess and to find…towers, walls and bastions, streets, stairs and squares, bourgeois houses, monasteries and churches, schools, workshops and bridges…
Geo Quest in Transylvania has been the occasion for the participants to discover the region or rediscover it with a new glance, having fun thanks to the treasures hunting. A travel through time and history to discover a true Transylvanian and European micro-cosmos. One could learn about German colonists, Hungarian kings, Romanian, Szekely, Polish, Greek, and Jewish peasants, craftsmen, and merchants, Tatar horsemen, Turkish armies, mercenaries.
For the first edition of Geo Quest in Romania, the event has attracted a lot of persons from Romania but also from Europe. A meeting next year has been high requested by the participants.
