The Hearthline Approach
How to explore a region with intention — routes, context, and chosen experiences.
Guides
Regional and thematic references — selective, grounded, and written to remain useful. This collection grows slowly by design: fewer guides, better chosen.
This collection grows by selection, not schedule.

How this site is organized
Hearthline emphasizes regions and themes over exhaustive lists. Each guide is built to orient you: how a place feels, how to move through it, and what’s worth choosing.
