The diversity and color in Europe is found in the myth of its landscapes, telling of people, tales, hidden treasures and mysterious happenings. These cannot be found in landscapes alone, only in the combination with the people, culture and traces of a long history found in villages, can this relationship develop to its full potential.

Each village here represents its mythical landscape, tells of its traditional peculiarities, and its contributions to European history, all of which come to life in a hikeable natural landscape for the visitor.
