Rijeka

I visited Rijeka (and Croatia) for the first time 3 years ago. I was surprised by two characteristics of the city…

Imagine you live in a beautiful boulevard, nice weather and with view to the sea. But you have two VIP neighbours always surrounded by paparazzi and making harder for you to reach your home. Real version? This beautiful boulevard is the Dalmatian coast, your neighbours are Split ad Trogir surrounded by tourists and your humble house is Kaštela.

OPEN CALL

The call for applications for the fifth cycle of European Heritage Times volunteers is still open.

Due to the still unpredicatble situation in regard to the corona virus and the currently increasing travel restrictions we had to postpone the Introduction and Training Seminar for the fifth cycle of European Heritage Times towards June, 13th, (arrival) till June, 18th, (departure), 2021. As originally foreseen, the seminar will take place in the German part of the Historic Mining Landscape Ore Mountains which had been inscribed in 2019 as transboundary German-Czech site in the World Heritage list.

In conjunction with the postponed seminar we decided to extend the deadline for applications till April, 18th, 2021. Earlier applications are appreciated.
