Bled is one of the most characteristic places in Slovenia. This name covers both a small town and a picturesque lake. They are situated at the foot of the Julian Alps, near the border with Austria and Italy, and also adjacent to a beautiful landscape - the Triglav National Park. Slovenians as well as tourists from all over the world are very eager to relax at Lake Bled. Bled is a place with a long history. Settlement existed there already in the Mesolithic times. An additional interesting fact is that Lake Bled was formed in a tectonic depression at the end of the last ice age as a result of the melting of the Bohinj Glacier. There are thermal springs in the lake, which means that the temperature of the water reaches around 26 degrees Celsius . This is not the only advantage.

How much do you have to pay for a new motorhome? Everyone who starts to be interested in caravanning asks a similar question at some point. The differences in the prices of motorhomes of different brands are huge, but it is worth being aware that there is more to the higher price than "just" the brand and the manufacturer's reputation. I've been planning an article on this subject for a long time, but finally I was inspired to write it by a visit to the Caravan Salon 2017 in Düsseldorf . There, I could directly compare both the prices of the vehicles on display next to each other, as well as assess their "organoleptically" quality.

Caravan Salon 2017 is behind us - the fair in Düsseldorf, during which you could see almost the entire caravanning offer available on the German market. Although the number of motorhomes and accessories could make you dizzy, we managed to pick out a few trends that combined the proposals of various exhibitors. A year or two ago, while browsing catalogs and manufacturers' websites, you could notice a retreat from camper vans with an alcove. But vehicles that have an added recess for a mattress above the driver's cab are now making a comeback again, with the alcove itself changing its shape . Its front can be rounded, flattened, finely trimmed, which makes the alcove itself a distinguishing feature or even a decoration for a vehicle of a given brand.

From 2018, it will use its older brother's design solutions. It is hard to deny that the current version of Deseo is innovative.

Even if you are one of those who love the sun, there are surely times when there is too much happiness. When you feel that you are slowly turning into a crisp straight from the oven, the awning and the shading panel attached to it can help. It is in the production of the latter that a new Polish brand specializes in - HappySun.pl. A modern awning for a motorhome or caravan is usually a fabric canopy pulled out of the cassette, which allows you to create a barrier between the red-hot sky and our heads.

It has been known for a long time that the Silesian Voivodeship is not only mines and gray-tinted landscapes, yet common opinions still make the region uninteresting in terms of tourism. And wrongly - it may not have as many attractive places as, for example, Masuria or the Sudetes, but it is enough to spend even a few days in it to find out that it has its charm. What can we see interesting in Silesia? There are quite a few old towns in the province that are worth visiting. The historic part can be proud of, among others Częstochowa, Cieszyn, Pszczyna and Gliwice, as well as Rybnik, Żory and Bielsko-Biała. Those who like castles should visit Lubliniec, Będzin, Olsztyn near Częstochowa or Podzamcze near Ogrodzieniec. Supporters of sacred tourism will surely visit the Jasna Góra Monastery, but during a trip around Silesia , they can also visit the basilicas in Pszów and Piekary Śląskie or the sanctuary in Turza Śląska. People who love history and culture can follow the Wooden Architecture Trail , including over 90 historic buildings, ranging from chapels, through forester's lodges and taverns, to bell towers. While in Gliwice, tourists often direct their steps to the Piast Castle, as well as to ul. Tarnogórska, where there is a wooden broadcasting tower entered on the list of Historical Monuments - the Gliwice radio station . It is the tallest existing wooden structure in Europe and the tallest wooden broadcasting tower in the world (111 m).

Attractions of Silesia

Mountain enduro paths, forest trails, night city, camping. We checked, and in literally all conditions, how the new Fenix model BC21R works. I got the flashlight for testing on Wednesday - it was a good thing, because Wednesday is our "statutory" day for night enduro driving. The crew had an appointment, so I only confirmed my presence. Immediately, I thought - I will not have time to do the test while driving the enduro, because I will not have time to recharge the battery! It turned out that I was on time - full charging took only 2.5 hours , which is much shorter than in the heavy flashlights we use every day. This is the first big plus.
