## Using the Transnational Trails Pages
{% hint style="success" %}
**Estimated time: 15 minutes.**
{% endhint %}
The **Transnational Trails** section allows users to explore Units of Culinary Heritage, partner restaurants, culinary trails, and EuroVelo cycling routes on interactive maps. These pages are intended for browsing and exploring published content, rather than creating or editing entries.
The section is divided into two main pages:
1. **Transnational Trails page** – displays Units of Culinary Heritage and restaurants on a map.
2. **Trails Map page** – displays created trails together with EuroVelo routes.
### Transnational Trails Page
The **Transnational Trails** page introduces visitors to the Culinary Trail routes and shows an interactive map with culinary markers from across the Danube Region.
On this map, users can view published **Units of Culinary Heritage** and **partner restaurants**. Each marker represents a published item that has been added to the platform.
### Culinary Markers on the Map
The map uses different markers to help users understand what type of content is displayed.
The available culinary markers include:
* **Unit of Culinary Heritage** – marks a culinary heritage entry, such as a recipe, story, tradition, beverage, or culinary practice.
* **Partner Restaurant** – marks a verified restaurant connected to the Culinary Trail.
Users can click on a marker to open a popup with basic information about that item.
### Filtering Units on the Map
The Transnational Trails map includes dynamic filtering options above the map. These filters work similarly to the filters on the Digital Catalogue page.
Users can filter displayed Units of Culinary Heritage by:
* **Country**
* **Unit Type**
* **Type of Ethnic Group**
* **Recent Migrant Group**
* **Traditional Ethnic Group**
When a filter is selected, the map automatically updates and displays only the matching units. The **Clear** button resets all selected filters and returns the map to its default view.
### Viewing Unit Details from the Map
When users click on a Unit of Culinary Heritage marker, a popup appears with a short preview of the unit. The popup may include the unit image, title, country, ethnic group, and contributor information.
By clicking the unit popup or its title, users can open the full details page for that unit. On the details page, users can view the complete information, such as overview details, descriptions, recipes, traditions, location information, references, and other unit-specific content.
### Viewing Restaurant Details from the Map
Partner restaurants can also be displayed on the map. When users click on a restaurant marker, a popup opens with basic restaurant information.
From the restaurant popup, users can open the restaurant details page or access directions, depending on the available options.
## Trails Map Page
The **Trails Map** page displays published trails together with EuroVelo cycling routes. This page helps users explore culinary, wine, hiking, and cycling-related routes in connection with sustainable travel across the Danube Region.
Users can access this page from the **Transnational Trails** page by clicking the **View the trails** title or section.
### Exploring Trails and EuroVelo Routes
On the Trails Map page, users can view different published Culinary Trail routes on an interactive map. The map also displays EuroVelo cycling routes, allowing users to understand how culinary experiences connect with wider cycling and mobility routes.
The map includes lists of:
* **Culinary Trails**
* **Cycling Routes**
Each route is displayed with its own visual style, making it easier to distinguish between different trail types and cycling routes.
### Viewing a Specific Trail
Users can select a trail from the list to focus on that route on the map. The selected trail is highlighted, and its route and stops become easier to follow.
Users can also open the trail details page from the trail list or map. The trail details page shows the trail title, type, featured image, description, route map, and restaurant stops.
### Viewing Trail Details
The trail details page provides a full overview of the selected trail.
It includes:
* Trail title
* Trail type
* Featured image
* Trail description
* Trail map
* Restaurant stops
The restaurant stops are displayed both on the map and as cards below the map. Each stop card may include useful actions, such as viewing the restaurant details page, opening directions in Google Maps, or visiting the restaurant website.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.culinarytrail.eu/getting-started/transnational-trails.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
