In the organizer's words:
1500 km on foot from Iran to the Black Sea
Lecture by Lea Geibel
"нет пути - No way!" are the words that Lea hears again and again as she attempts to become the first woman to cross the southern Caucasus on foot on the Transcaucasian Trail. She hears it from border police and shepherd families. There is no way. And then alone. Without a man. Impossible.
When she arrives at the Black Sea after 1500 km of impossibility, she has learned a lot about the Caucasus. About the different cultures she encounters along the way, about the countless, deep-rooted conflicts that divide the region, about the wild mountains that give the Caucasus its name and the people who live there. About herself as a woman.
And she knows there can be a way. It just has to be built.
An unusual story about why you want to build a long-distance hiking trail through one of the most geopolitically fragmented regions in the world and what happens when you walk this trail, which doesn't even exist yet, alone as a young woman.
