History & Stories
Every journey hides more than landscapes.
It carries stories, legends and echoes of the past.
Some places are visited for the views.
Others—for the stories that still linger in the air.
In this section we collect tales of forgotten villages, ancient legends, historical events and mysterious places scattered across the world. Sometimes they are great events known from history books, sometimes local stories whispered in old pubs.
Because a journey without history is just a walk.

TEMPLARS—HISTORY, LEGENDS, AND THE GREATEST PR CAMPAIGN OF THE MIDDLE AGES
In this series, we will not be digging for the Holy Grail beneath every stone, nor will we attempt to solve every mystery of the medieval world. We will not tell anyone what to believe.
Instead, we will do something far more interesting.
We will ask why, more than seven hundred years after their disappearance, the Knights Templar still capture our imagination.
