The Via Alpina is a network of five long-distance hiking trails across the alpine regions of Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Monaco. The longest of trails is the red trail, whose termini are in Trieste and Monaco.
The Via Alpina was created by a group of public and private organisations from the 8 Alpine countries in 2000, receiving EU funding from 2001 until 2008. It was initiated by the Association Grande Traversée des Alpes in Grenoble, which hosted the Via Alpina international secretariat until January 2014, when it was transferred to the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps CIPRA (Liechtenstein). There are national secretariats (hosted by public administrations or hiking associations) in each country. Its aim is to support sustainable development in remote mountain areas and promote the Alpine cultures and cultural exchanges.
There was a Pegasus with jet-black fur
And the paths it passed by were destroyed,
rotten and burned
It says: I see the world is covered with white
I am jet-black spot
No matter how much I cry,
I get white wings just in my dreams
Eating nice ones, I lurk in a hollow
A man came
His hand was so warm
His shadow whispered:
blac kspot can be an art on the white canvas
Chorus:
The kngiht in dusky blood coloured armour is
on my back
I unfolded my black wings
Scattering wind that makes lands decay
I will fly away for destruction
Is this my will?
Did God want me to die peacefully,
obeying providence and morality?
I see the world is covered with white
With full gallop above I ate men at random
My master turned his head and
looked at scribbled black line
Feeling my heart was closing, I look back too
Without hesistation
The shadows whispered again
Oh, happy I am, let's give a toast to us with wine
Hack the heads rolling over there
I'll cut my arm myself
Chorus:
The shadows whispered for the last that
God will decide where's
the end of line for us
I'm gonna look up at drawings from hell,
will you be above or bottom?
Chorus:
Before my knows I was crying held by fire
And I shook the load off which is
turned to dust
Again and again I flapped to go back to black night sky
Put fire on, run up to above
