The village on the edge of the lunar calanchi where Carlo Levi served his exile, and where he chose to be buried.

A side valley east of Trento where a Bavarian-derived language has been spoken since the thirteenth century, and three villages still use it every day.

Beskid Niski (Low Beskids)
The emptiest range in the Polish Carpathians: Lemko ghost villages and UNESCO wooden churches in the absence that 1947 left behind.

Bieszczady
Poland's emptiest mountains, where the połoniny grasslands open above old-growth forest and ghost orchards mark villages erased in 1947.

Suwalszczyzna
Poland's wild north-east: the deepest lake in Central Europe, a glacial landscape park and the lost Yotvingian borderland, reached by Rail Baltica.
