“The giant and the knight first met when they were kids, one was only three metres tall, the other had blond locks. They both lived in their own beautiful town, but they met in the evening at the halfway point”. A tale that has the flavour of a classic fairy tale and the strength of youth aware of being right. The two friends are reunited after the war, the knight will look after the wounded giant and remain by his side until snow covers them.

When spring awakens and snow has melted, in place of the two friends you can still spot a hill with a small tree on top.
