Let me take you to Hochlands...
Austro-Hungarians,many,many years ago,wanted to have a piece of that sea,the Adriatic,that once was only Venetian.
They wanted to expand their power.
They found the perfect place to do that,in a small corner of nowadays Istria.
They arrived there,well armed,against the defenceless local peoples.
Italians,Croats,Slovenes.
They just couldn't resist.
The Austro-Hungarians destroyed many towns,to rebuild them with a more "germanic" architecture.
They also built new,powerful,towns.
Those towns were true economic powers of the Adriatic.
With this region,named Adriatische Hochlander (Adriatic Highlands/Hochlands),the Austro-Hungarians could steal the Venetians,their great Economic power.
With the time,the local peoples became proud of their power,of their new identity.
And this is the story,my ,personal story,of those peoples,those towns...
So,let me take you to this mix of cultures and different landscapes.
Let me take you to...Adriatic Hochlands!
Here are some examples of what I'm going to show you in this fascinating journey...
P.S.: Places,events and names are completely invented!
