Summary/Abstract: The author gives a synthesis of many years of field investigations of Podgorje on the theme of the traditions of the so-called "old people", of buried treasure, fantastic creatures and events on the boundaries of reality and the impossible. Based on the fact of how many recorded subjects are deeply rooted in the narrative tradition of the local population and which relate to precisely defined locations, the author tries to outline the contours of the traditional landscape of the area between Velebit and the sea
