On 27 October 2020 the Romanian Ministry of Economy, Energy and Business Environment launched a new Cultural Tourist Route. The route, which involves more than 160 places of worship across the country, focusses on Wooden Churches as symbols for Romania’s shared religious and cultural heritage. Along the route, tourists will have the opportunity to learn about ancient traditions, which tell the story of the Romanian folk genius and the nation's unity.

The new route about Wooden Churches is one of the national 49 Cultural Tourist Routes recognised by Ministry of Economy, Energy and Business Environment. It includes 10 places of worship in Bihor county, 13 in Cluj county, over 100 wooden churches and monasteries in Maramures county, 10 in Satu Mare county, 16 in Suceava county, 16 in Neamt county, and 2 wooden churches in Mehedinti county.
