    THE ROMANTIC ROAD

    For lovers of nature, flowery gardens and German culture, we suggest to get to know the Romantic Route. Flanked by plane trees that in the fall offer a special atmosphere, breathtaking landscape and full of half-timbered buildings (typical German architecture), the Romantic Route has many leisure options for weekend getaways or for those who wish a quiet, romantic stay.

    For those who enjoy the coziness that the cold weather offers, the months of May through August are perfect to get to know our comfortable and charming hotels and guesthouses, besides a plentiful and varied gastronomic network. It is in these months that the typical fog and frost are most frequent, phenomena that provide beautiful records.

    But when springtime arrives accompanied by milder temperatures and longer days, the color of the innumerous places, streets and house gardens are a sight for sore eyes. It is at this time of the year that nature sports such as walking and hiking are offered by practically all member towns of the route.

    The Romantic Route has been often named in the list of the top 10 most beautiful and charming roads to travel by car in Brazil. This title was conquered mainly due to the zeal that all the towns have for their well-tendered roads, most of them flanked by plane trees.

    Located between the plain of the Rio dos Sinos valley and the Highlands of the Serra Gaúcha, the Romantic Route is only 40 km from the capital Porto Alegre and 35 km from the city of Caxias do Sul, two important access routes to Rio Grande do Sul. With your own car or a rented one, let yourself be charmed by this itinerary which brings a new emotion at every turn.

    ROMANTISCHE STRASSE

    The idealizers of the itinerary, when they met in Augsburg, wanted to recreate Germany as a touristic destination after the disgraces caused by the Hitler terror. Their intention was for all foreign tourists to have a positive image of the country. With its beautiful medieval cities and towns along the Romantic Road it was possible to show a joyful, multifarious nation, and immersed in the history of the European Union. A triad of nature, culture and hospitality has been the trademark of the Romantic Road since 1950. It is the most known G

    Dois Irmãos

    The German origin of most of its population can be seen in the faces of its inhabitants and in their German dialect or the Portuguese spoken with a strong accent. In its cultural traditions is also the enjoyment of dancing, singing, music and festivals. And, mainly, in the importance given to education. Church, school and work were in the past and still are in the present the three pillars on which the history of Dois Irmãos is built. The town also stands out for the economic development of the Brazilian shoe industry having several industries of this sector.

Along its streets and places, lavender, the flower symbol of the municipality, and plane trees, both symbols of romanticism and inspiration, make the landscape exuberant and even more obvious the veins of colonization.

    Institutional

    The “Romantic Route Project” began at the end of 1994 and the beginning of 1995 when the first meetings took place among representatives of a few municipalities that in the future would be part of the project. Inspired and conceived by a homonymous route in Germany, the Romantic Route in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, began with the idea, in the gaucho version, of a touristic route with small cities and towns of predominantly German immigration. São Leopoldo, Novo Hamburgo, Estância Velha, Ivoti, Dois Irmãos, Morro Reuter, Santa Maria do Herval, Presidente Lucena, Picada Café, Nova Petrópolis, Gramado, Canela, and São Francisco de Paula were the chosen ones to be part of the Project. The first ones because their population is strongly attached to German immigration and the two last ones because of their touristic tradition.

    During the first semester of 1995 several meetings with the representatives of the municipalities, tourism organizations and public and private entities were held to consolidate and improve the project idea.

    In June 26, 1995 the project of the touristic route was launched for tourism organizations, the community in general, and public and private entities, when a protocol of intentions was signed with the support of the State Secretary of Tourism, Rio Grande do Sul Tourism Chamber, and EMBRATUR, among eleven municipalities and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, through FAMECOS and its Course in Tourism, which was in charge of the touristic mapping and diagnosis of the municipalities.

    In the beginning of 1996, from March 16 to 29, there was a study trip to observe the Romantische Strasse in Germany, and a delegation traveled with the objective to get to know the means, factors, sectors, and agents producing tourism in that region and collect data to implant the gaucho route.

    In April 22, 1996 the Association of the Municipalities of the Romantic Route – AMRR was founded with the first General Meeting of the municipalities that were part of the then “Romantic Route Project, and later the first statute and entry as a legal entity of the Association in the competent bodies was registered at a Notary’s office”.  From then on the Association of the Municipalities of the Romantic Route began to exist in fact and in law.

    The year 2008 was also notable because at the General Meeting that took place on October 30 that year the new text of the statute was approved, a necessary change specifically to adapt the provisions of the Law 9.790 from March 23, 1999, which establishes and regulates organizations of the civil society of public interest (OSCIP). From this approval on the denomination “Romantic Route Association - ARR” began to be used.

    In May 2012 another municipality was officially included, Linha Nova, being now 14 participants. São Leopoldo, Novo Hamburgo, Estância Velha, Ivoti, Dois Irmãos, Morro Reuter, Santa Maria do Herval, Presidente Lucena, Linha Nova, Picada Café, Nova Petrópolis, Gramado, Canela, and São Francisco de Paula are the municipalities that are currently part of the Romantic Route.

    We work with the 14 participants institutionally with the objective to promote and develop regional tourism collectively.

    An exciting way with strong cultural values and several attractions to offer. Identified along the route, preservation of the German culture inherited from the immigrants is noticed in traditional festivals, splendorous garden, colonial markets, typical bands, folk groups… Besides the cultural trip, the region also offers contact with exuberant nature. The Romantic Route, with the diversity offered by the 14 municipalities, has the structure to receive demanding visitors who search for refined cuisine and exquisite hotel, but also pleases those who prefer family guesthouses and the delicious colonial food. There are so many options that your trip will certainly be unforgettable.

    Currently the seat of the Romantic Route is in the Medieval Tower, by the Tourism Office, on 100 Avenida 15 de Novembro, at the city center of Nova Petrópolis, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
