A German-speaking Dolomite village of fifteen hamlets, where the Piave river is born and the Carnival masks have been carved from the same wood for centuries.
Trieste, through its writers
The Habsburg-Adriatic city of Joyce, Svevo and Saba, best read in October and November, when the Bora blows and the cafés half-empty.

A living language island in the Pomeranian lake hills, where Kashubian is Poland's only recognised regional language and the lakes are called Switzerland.
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.
