Hello! The Romanian municipality of Alba Iulia intends to establish the first sundial trail in the country. There are 5 sundials in this historical city plus another 2 portable ones in the local Museum.
I recently made a flyer promoting these sundials. The Mayor was very receptive to my proposal and agreed to print 100 copies for Astronomy Day 2015 in late April and another 200 cardboard horizontal cut-out sundials. Once the building of the touristic center finishes late this year, I hope it will be made freely available there also in English and perhaps German. In the mean time you can download the Romanian version here: http://www.apulum.ro/images/uploads/fisiere/pliant.pdf The cardboard sundial is here http://www.apulum.ro/images/uploads/fisiere/cadran.pdf The problem which they still have to solve is set up a few informative signposts and bring all authorities together in order to allow free access for tourists in two of the old city's inner courtyards. Digi24, a national Romanian TV broadcaster, filmed this sundial report during Astronomy Day 2015 (please check CC button for an English translation). Alas, as it was late afternoon, the only two working sundials were non-operational. Thankfully the cardboard sundials were! :) https://youtu.be/TjLCp1PvgGc I will also post this proposed sundial trail on Sundial Atlas in the following days so I hope you will visit beautiful Alba Iulia someday! ;) Dan Uza Romania
