People's lives are a reflection of the nature that surrounds them. It has shaped the entire history of the human race, and its generational memory is carried in the collective unconscious by all of us. In Konice, the Drahany Highlands, the Konice Uplands, everywhere there is a forest imprinted in the lives of people without their being able to name it themselves.
RUNARZ
Runářov



Runářov. Runarz. A rune, a sign, a more magical symbol than a letter of the alphabets. Runarz was founded by a man of whom we know only his name: Runarz, one who deals in runes.

The whole area has been depopulated since the late nineteenth century. Since working in the woods and fields ceased to be an attractive way of life, young people have gone elsewhere to live. That's the way it's always been. People came, burned the forest, sowed the fields, built houses. And then they left and the forest came back.


People leave. Is that a good thing? Is it bad? It's, it just is, like the forest. You cut it out, you leave, and it comes back. The stars, they stayed. When the sun goes down, the sky over Runarov lights up. It's quiet and deep, like the past, where everything disappears.

Runarov is a place in time, in space and in the forest. A place in the world of the forest, where the mind of the forest rules, where man is only temporary and brief. Perhaps this is what the Runar once sought, a mage trying to penetrate the memory of the forest in a human way. The trees with his runes no longer live; what the Runesman tried to find is still there.
