Current Issue
The current issue of the magazine is hidden europe 35 (winter 2011/2012). To see a detailed table of contents of this latest hidden europe, please click here. Slow travel is the thread that weaves through hidden europe 35. We take the slow boat from Iceland, the slow train through the valleys of Germany’s Harz Mountains and savour slowly unfolding landscapes on a local bus through the valleys in mid-Wales.
Cast back to our Manifesto for Slow Travel (written in 2009) where we argued that slow travel is a state of mind. So we try and bring some of that slow travel mindset to every article in this issue of hidden europe. We wander through the Bukovina area of Carpathian Ukraine, explore the border between Russia and Estonia at Narva, visit the Lenin museum in the Finnish city of Tampere and ponder on the fruits of Paradise.
We include poetry that evokes the spirit of the wild coast of north-east Scotland and we have an oddball report from Erik the Red Land – an upstart territory that never secured any international recognition. These are tales from a half-forgotten Europe and beyond – stories about places and people that make you think.
