When passing through the Netherlands on the A20 motorway, let's slow down for a moment (preferably the longer one) halfway between Gouda and Rotterdam. The lowest point of the country is located here, and the entire region delights with the beauty of polders. If you consider that "to get down" means "to get depressed," it will be both a metaphorical and a literal explanation. Depression is the area below sea level, which is somewhat below sea level. In a Dutch town we can find both this depressive pit and the desired one - by golf enthusiasts.

There are many natural wonders in New Zealand. One of them is Rangitoto Island, pure volcanic lava where Christmas trees grow and many birds live. It was bought from the Maori for £ 15. Rangitoto is an island that was reborn about 600 years ago after experiencing a huge volcanic eruption. The vegetation that now extensively covers its surface grew slowly over the raw volcanic lava flows. The island is a huge local attraction, drawing tourists to New Zealand's Auckland - and beyond. A ferry runs twice a day, thanks to which those willing can see this extraordinary creation of nature up close, protruding over the sea level for more than 260 meters. It is located 10 km from the center of Auckland and the journey takes approximately 40 minutes.

In fairy tales, dragons had red, green or gold eyes. Albanian has blue eyes - or at least one. He looks at the world from a small country in southern Europe, from a place approx. 25 km from the city of Saranda, near the Greek border. Whether there are blue-eyed dragons is unknown. However, we know for sure that in the southern part of Albania there are forests that smell wonderfully with fir, cherries and nuts. They are crossed by a dozen or so springs, the most beautiful of which, seen from a bird's eye view, can amaze with its beauty. It is called Syri i Kaltër, which means "Blue Eye".

Sandy, uninhabited beaches and an average temperature of up to 30 ° C are the advantages of the Seychelles, beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean. The largest coconuts in the world grow on them, and among the rare specimens of birds, we can see a domestic stork that came here for the winter. The azure Croatian waters are wonderful, the blue sea in Greece is astonishing. In Thai coves, the term "paradise" is on the lips, just like on the coast of Malaysia. However, there are places where there are no words to describe delight at the sight of water. Saying "paradise" is definitely not enough. The islands of the Seychelles are such a place - 115 pearls scattered across the Indian Ocean. They are located in the Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. From Poland, you can reach them only with a change in Munich, Rome, Paris, Milan or London. Several airlines fly to Victoria International Airport, including Air Seychelles.

Thousands of tourists come to Poprad every year. They are attracted both by the great location - the city is the most important communication junction for people visiting the region in the eastern part of Slovakia - and the famous water park Aquacity Poprad. I must admit that Poprad cannot compete with its beauty with the tourist pearls of Slovakia. On the other hand, it is not strictly a holiday resort, so it should not be required to attract attention with its appearance. Its architecture is dominated by contemporary concrete blocks of flats. The background adds charm to it - Poprad is situated by the magnificent Tatra Mountains. Beautiful mountain peaks, picturesquely snow-capped, are dignified above the city, contrasting with the prose of gray, slightly sad blocks. The mountains can be seen from every point of Poprad.

There are few places like Texel - allowing you to relax in nature, away from everything. Where wild rabbits live, and sheep and cows graze on green meadows. Where pheasants walk dignified. Texel is part of the West Frisian Islands and is separated from the Netherlands by the Wadden Sea. As it is the largest island in the archipelago and the closest to the mainland, tourists like it the most. The other main islands (Schiermonnikoog, Ameland, Terschelling and Vlieland) are less crowded and noisy due to the difficulty of access. Ferries arrive there, but the cost of such a trip can discourage many.

The fact that someone did not manage to visit Ribe at the beginning of May does not mean that there is nothing to visit in the oldest city of the country famous for Lego bricks.

It is situated on the River Ribeå in the western part of South Jutland. It is approx. 5 km away from the North Sea.

What direction is ideal for an ornithologist trip? It's simple - a reserve with bird habitats. You don't have to travel far abroad to find areas inhabited by various species of birds. Ba! You don't have to go abroad at all. In Poland, we will find at least a few national parks where the enthusiast of observing bird life will lose track of time. One of such places is the Łuknajno Lake in the Masurian Landscape Park. Despite the fact that it remains in the shadow of famous kin (Mamry, Śniardwy), it fully deserves the attention and attention - not only of ornithology fans. It is worth getting to know them, the more that it is located just a few kilometers from Mikołajki.
