Smart Regions: The project NemoNet is preserving the cultural legacy of an almost forgotten ethnic group in Slovakia

As one of its activities to promote quality tourism, the Interreg Slovakia-Austria project NemoNet is preserving the cultural legacy of the “huncokárs”, German native speakers who arrived centuries ago in the Little Carpathians to work as lumberjacks.

They brought new woodcutting technologies, more sustainable methods to manage the forest and even own religious holidays. The project also invests in eco-transportation, including in infrastructure for e-mobility and cycling. Have a look at the latest episode of Smart Regions in partnership with Euronews and discover how a European project is keeping a cultural heritage alive!
