Tekst achterflap

This book follows a series of bicycle journeys through towns and settlements that have been left behind by time, industry, or circumstance. You will travel along quiet roads and forgotten routes, encountering places once shaped by mining, agriculture, or trade, now marked by silence and slow decay. Each chapter examines the history behind these locations, tracing how they rose, why they declined, and what remains of their stories today. Along the way, you will learn about the broader social and economic forces that led to abandonment across different regions. Written with the assistance of artificial intelligence, this book offers a calm, factual exploration of overlooked history, inviting you to consider how places are remembered, forgotten, and occasionally rediscovered through the simple act of cycling past them.
