TRANSYLVANIAN CARPATHIA SOCIETY – SATU MARE

The Transylvanian Carpathia Society – Erdélyi Kárpát Egyesület (EKE) is a not-for-profit non-governmental association founded in Cluj-Napoca in 1891.

The goals of EKE are to: protect the natural environment; practice and promote hiking and ecotourism in general; and know, popularize, and protect cultural and ethnic values.

After a forced break of 50 years (1948-1989), EKE was reformed in 1991. As of today, there are 18 branch offices in cities throughout Transylvania, all operating under the main administrative center in Cluj.
