Discover the fascinating world of the people behind Slovakia’s hiking trail markings. Where? Here and there! *Stories of Those Who Mark and Maintain Our Hiking Trails* is a remarkable book of reportage that takes you behind the scenes of one of the world’s most unique networks of hiking trails. Across nearly 16,000 kilometres of marked trails, there are only around 400 volunteers at work – the unsung heroes of our mountains.
The book features personal stories, interviews and snapshots of those who, driven by a love of nature, restore the coloured markings, put up signposts and ensure that hikers do not get lost. You will learn how the marking system has evolved, how the times on signposts are determined, why the best trail markers are often recent retirees, and what is involved in maintaining trails across different regions of Slovakia.
The publication is visually rich – it contains photographs, illustrations, interesting facts and historical details that make it more of a collector’s item and archive piece than a traditional tourist guide. With its premium cloth cover and generous 280 × 215 mm format, it will stand out in any library.
The book was created thanks to the support of hundreds of contributors and follows on from the successful trilogy of mountain reportage books *Tam Hore*, *Na Chrbte* and, most recently, *Kade? Tade!*, which have already earned the acclaim of thousands of readers and experts alike.
