Without context, I would take it to mean "a route about which a number of significant anecdotes could be told"; or "a route which has played an important historical role".
Which route is it, out of interest?
Best wishes,

A historic route could be an actual route in history. The Oregon Trail is a historic route in the American west.
It can also be a virtual path too. This can mean a series of actions that if followed will repeat success or failure just as they have done throughout history.
You must give us context to tell you what this means.
I saw a few signs read 'historic route' when I was driving on freeway.
"A historic route could be an actual route in history." -- This is probably the right definition.
Thanks.
This means that it was an important route sometime in history....the Oregon Trail is an example. It is like seeing a sign saying "historic site" meaning that something historic happened at that spot.
