Less than 50 years ago a large network of railtracks covered the entire landscape of Denmark. Yet, even though the majority of the tracks are gone today, few have been preserved either in their original form or reconstructed in order to fit today's needs and demands environmentally and socially. Today the former railway from Løgstør through Aalestrup to Hobro and Viborg is changed into a cycling trail the 'Himmerland path' which passes no less than 12 former station cities on its way through the scenic landscape.

Brá, Italy, has about 30,000 inhabitants and is located about 50 kilometres south of Turin, in a gastronomic region known for, among other things, its wines, truffles and cheese. Brá is one of the founding cities in the Cittaslow movement. The inspiration to create slow cities came from the Slow Food movement with international head office and own restaurant in Brá. Earlier the city contained major footwear industry, but today the slow movement is the highest-profile business.
