Kaštelir: Prazgodovinska gradišča in etnobotanika za trajnostni turizem

Kaštelir: Prehistoric Hill Forts and Ethnobotany for Sustainable Tourism:  According to its title, this monograph addresses three interlinked, but specific themes: 1) prehistoric hill forts, Bronze and Iron Ages elevated fortified settlements; 2) ethnobotany and plants of the region and their traditional use, and 3) the inclusion of this cultural and natural heritage into sustainable tourism, friendlier to the environment and the local population. The monograph follows the project's goals: the revival of the ancient connection between plants and people's lives and its presentation to contemporary times in a way for it to be of use to cross border tourism, rural development and the sustainable treatment of the environment. The project's underlying theme are the remains of hill forts or kaštelirji as they are known in the region from the Karst to Kvarner. Today, these, once the most eminent structures in the landscape, are an almost forgotten heritage of the region that was a united area in prehistory.
