During the relaxed wandering of young friends around Trieste, we discover the natural and cultural attractions of this area. We will learn about the truth and myth of the "Lepa Vida"; about prehistoric finds; about cultural and folkloristic events and festivals... and we will also get to know the poets and writers from this western edge of the Slovenian territory, as well as the stories and legends that spread in this area. The territory where the Slavic and Romanic worlds were in contact for centuries, will come to life in a completely new light.
