As one of the most dynamic contemporary phenomenon, cultural and environmental tourism is shaped at the articulation of space, narratives and heritage, all joined in indigenous brands. The article focuses on a case of folklorization of a novel feminine character, namely Vitoria Lipan, famous in Romanian national literature. Settled in a real topography, the novel is augmented by oral narratives, artifacts and toponyms, which lead to Vitoria Lipan’s appropriation as a local legendary figure.
