Local tourist guides are important guardians and promoters of local heritage. They invite you on tours, walks, and trips where they reveal much that would otherwise remain invisible in the landscape and forgotten in the flow of history. Their work stems from a commitment to the area, its people, and tradition, as well as respect for nature and its laws.
