About this quest

You've probably walked along "15 Noiembrie" street in Brașov or heard about the annual 15 Noiembrie cross race.

But why is this date so important?

On November 15, 1987, workers from a local factory did the impossible: they protested against the communist regime.

This quest will retrace their steps, exploring key locations and revealing the harsh conditions they had to endure, like factory shifts that never stopped or rationed food.

Discover how history was made that day, by simple brave people.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • Walk the entire path that the protesters took that day - from the factory's gate to the communist headquarters

  • Discover key locations and monuments along the way, in honor of the brave people who had the courage to defy communism

  • Find out how Brașov looked in those days - what buildings were along the way, instead of the modern new ones you see today
