After surviving since antiquity the archaeological landscapes, sites and monuments in the Danubecountries are more threatened than ever before, because of rapid urban and rural development. Theextension of the multinational UNESCO World Heritage Site “Frontiers of the Roman Empire” intothe Danube countries will help to establish a long-term and sustainable protection in preparing various requirements for new nomination documents.

The Danube Limes — a flagship project of the European Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR)
Transnational project activities will foster a network of Limes sites and institutions to create a wide body of study, analysis and dissemination of the cul-tural and economic values of this distinctive heritage, as well as a common place for sharing a high quality knowledge and experience, with the addedvalue of exchanging expertise and different approaches and stimulating cooperation within the Danube countries. Similar sites vary considerably inimpact. Analysis of the regional impacts will be followed by the definition of the desired improvements to find the best partners, initiate best actionsand develop conceptual strategies for individual Limes destinations. This will prepare the ground to make the historic environment more intellectuallyaccessible and enjoyable, to visit for both tourists and local residents.
